The HP 5341A Frequency Counter performs exceptionally fast measurements of frequency up to 4.5 GHz. Using a unique HP-designed microwave switchable filter, its automatic heterodyne measurement technique insures high tolerance of FM on the measured signal. In the normal mode of operation, the 5341A will automatically measure and display the lowest CW signal within its sensitivity; in the manual mode, the operator can choose to search within any of ten frequency bands which cover the counter's full range. Also at the operator's command, a convenient routine provides "qualifiers" in the display for complete diagnostic information concerning both the measured signal and the counter's internal operation. The high sensitivity (-15 dBm in automatic mode, -20 dBm in manual) of the 5341A makes it ideal for measurement of low-level signals in the testing of UHF and microwave components and equipment. An extremely fast acquisition time (100 psec in manual mode) makes this counter the optimum choice for systems applications. Option 003 limits the frequency range of the 5341A to 1.5 GHz, at a considerably reduced cost. Option 011 connects the 5341A to the highspeed HP Interface Bus for data output and complete programmability, including the ability to remotely select the manual search bands.
