This section of the manual gives a description of the instrument, information on instrument identification and available options, and complete specifications. 1-3. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION 1-4. The HP Model 5382A Frequency Counter (see Figure 1-1) is a direct-counting frequency counter that has a range of 10 Hz to 225 MHz. Eight display digits are provided . Front-panel controls allow a selection of gate times and attenuation factors of the input signal. A rear-panel connector and associated selector switch allow connection of an external time base oscillator. This feature also allows ratio measurements to be made by the counter. When the optional temperature compensated crystal oscillator is included (Option 001), the switch is not provided and the connector allows external use of the 10 MHz time base oscillator . Refer to Table 1-1 for all counter specifications. 1-5. INSTRUMENT IDENTIFICATION 1-6. Hewlett-Packard uses a 2-section, 10-character serial number (OOOOA00000) mounted on the rear panel to identify the instrument . The first four digits are the serial prefix and the last five digits refer to the specific instrument . The alphabetical character identifies the country of manu- facture. If the serial prefix on your instrument differs from that listed on the title page of this manual, there are differences between the manual and your instrument . Any lower serial pre- fixes are documented separately in this manual, and higher serial prefixes are covered by a manual change sheet included with the manual . 1-7. The printed circuit boards within the instrument are identified by a 2-section, 10-digit part number (e.g., 05382-60001) and a 4-digit series number (e.g., "SERIES 1404"). The series num- ber identifies the electrical characteristics of the complete printed-circuit assembly . A replace- ment circuit-board assembly may have a different series number than the assembly originally supplied with the instrument . Therefore, when troubleshooting a circuit-board assembly, ensure that the series number on the schematic diagram matches the series number on the board assem- bly. If the series number on the assembly is lower than the number on the schematic diagram in Section III, refer to backdating information in this manual for change information. If the series number on the assembly is higher than the number on the schematic diagram, the change infor- mation is provided in a manual change sheet which is available from the nearest Hewlett- Packard Sales and Service Office.

  • Chapter 26 Oscillator Is Sufficient for Most of Our Needs and Most Amateur Equipment Relies on This Technique
    Test Procedures and Projects 26 his chapter, written by ARRL Technical Advisor Doug Millar, K6JEY, covers the test equipment and measurement techniques common to Amateur Radio. With the increasing complexity of T amateur equipment and the availability of sophisticated test equipment, measurement and test procedures have also become more complex. There was a time when a simple bakelite cased volt-ohm meter (VOM) could solve most problems. With the advent of modern circuits that use advanced digital techniques, precise readouts and higher frequencies, test requirements and equipment have changed. In addition to the test procedures in this chapter, other test procedures appear in Chapters 14 and 15. TEST AND MEASUREMENT BASICS The process of testing requires a knowledge of what must be measured and what accuracy is required. If battery voltage is measured and the meter reads 1.52 V, what does this number mean? Does the meter always read accurately or do its readings change over time? What influences a meter reading? What accuracy do we need for a meaningful test of the battery voltage? A Short History of Standards and Traceability Since early times, people who measured things have worked to establish a system of consistency between measurements and measurers. Such consistency ensures that a measurement taken by one person could be duplicated by others — that measurements are reproducible. This allows discussion where everyone can be assured that their measurements of the same quantity would have the same result. In most cases, and until recently, consistent measurements involved an artifact: a physical object. If a merchant or scientist wanted to know what his pound weighed, he sent it to a laboratory where it was compared to the official pound.

  • Build an Rf Frequency Counter Buffer for Hf
    BUILD IT YOURSELF By Dwayne Kincaid WD8OYG BUILD AN RF FREQUENCY COUNTER BUFFER FOR HF Most frequency counters can tolerate only low levels of RF at their input, but here’s a way to safely measure the frequency of an RF signal of up to 200 watts with your existing frequency counter. 36 January/February 2019 ■ FIGURE 1. Block diagram of frequency counter buffer. ■ FIGURE 2. Schematic of frequency counter buffer. his buffer allows you to connect your transceivers. It performs well, is easy to reproduce, counter to any RF source from 20 mW to is low cost, and has a minimal parts count. 200 watts, from 200 kHz to 60 MHz. The Most amateur HF transceivers are in the 5 to circuit has a protection limiter that keeps 200 watt range. This buffer (Figure 2) will allow Tthe RF signal strength in a safe range for the TTL you to connect your standard desktop frequency input of the counter, as well as providing gain for counter directly to the RF line, even with higher weaker signals (Figure 1). signal levels that most frequency counters can You can think of the buffer as a dam safely handle. For Citizens Band, most transceivers are in keeping high water out of Frequency Counter- the 4 to 12 watt range and will work fine with the ville. If the water/signal is too high upstream, buffer. you can limit how much of it gets through. Or, The low end of the buffer’s power range if its strength is too low, you can add some.

  • Frequency Measurements and Mixer
    Frequency Measurements and Mixer Introduction In this laboratory experience the student will measure the frequency of some signal using a frequency counter and a frequency translating device (mixer). Available instrumentation For this practical session you will use the following instrumentation: waveform generator (Hameg 8130, Hameg 8131 or similar) LED signal generator (output C and D, 5 MHz) analog oscilloscope frequency counter (Hameg HM 8122 or similar) For manuals and documentation: http://led.polito.it/main it/instrumentation.asp or see the “Addendum” at the end of these pages Mixer The internal scheme and the pins of the mixer are shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1: simplified scheme of the SBL-3 mixer Figure 2: pin scheme for the SBL-3 mixer (as seen from the top) Frequency measurements You can measure the frequency of the signals indicated in table I with the frequency counter. Following the manual instructions you must evaluate the uncertainty. For the trigger related uncertainty you can use a S/N value of 80dB. What’s happen to the trigger uncertainty if the S/N is reduced to a value of 40dB? Table I: frequency measurements Signal f /Hz f /Hz 1 kHz from waveform generator 15 kHz from waveform generator 5 MHz from waveform generator 5 MHz from LED sign.gen. output C 5 MHz from LED sign.gen. output D Frequency difference measurement Compute the frequency difference between output C and output D, starting from the measurements you reported on the table I. Now you can evaluate the uncertainty of the frequency difference.
