Quick Fact Sheet
Agilent 53200 RF/Universal Frequency Counter/Timers Models:
53210A, 53220A and 53230A
The Agilent 53200 Series is a new generation of 350 MHz RF/universal frequency counter/timers with
optional 6 GHz or 15-GHz inputs. The first frequency counters with LXI Class C compliance, the 53200
family is built with LAN and USB I/O for ease of connectivity and data collection. The combination of
high-speed measurements and built-in analysis and graphical display provides new functionality that
has not previously been available in basic frequency counter/timers
Key Features
• More frequency:
350 MHz baseband frequency, 6- or 15-GHz optional
microwave channels
• More resolution:
Up to 12 digits/sec and 20-ps single-shot time interval
• More information accessibility:
1 M reading memory, up to 75,000 frequency readings/
sec, strip chart/trend plot, cumulative histograms
• More connectivity:
First LXI-compliant counters (LXI/Ethernet, USB, GPIB
connectivity)
• More measurement capability:
Gap-free/continuous measurements and timestamping
for basic modulation domain analysis and optional
pulse/burst microwave measurements. The optional
battery supports remote usage and helps maintain
accurate measurements by keeping the timebase warm
at all times.
• Frequency counter emulation mode:
53131A, 53132A, 53181A
