HP 5347A Microwave Counter/Power Meter

The HP 5347A counter/power meter offers the convenience of a single instrument that makes frequency and power measurements with accuracy and resolution comparable to stand-alone instruments. As a power meter, the HP 5347A offers excellent dynamic range, linearity, and accuracy. It uses the same proven power sensors as HP's standalone power meters. The high-performance frequency counter measures frequency from 10 Hz to 20 GHz.

With only five function keys, the HP 5347A is especially easy to use. Its rugged, lightweight package, along with an optional internal battery that provides up to two hours of cordless measurements, makes the HP 5347A ideal for taking portable measurements.

External DC operation for greater measurement flexibility
Supports many HP power sensors

True power meter performance

Power measurements can be made from -70 dBM to +20 dBM, over a 10 MHz to 20.0 GHz frequency range, depending on the sensors used.

Negligible error

With power meter accuracy +/- 0.5% in linear mode, or +/-0.02 dB in logarithmic mode, the power meter causes virtually no increase in total measurement error.

Outstanding frequency measurements

The HP 5347A performance is comparable to HP's highest-performance CW counters, with selectable 1 Hz or 10 kHz resolution while measuring signals down to -35 dBm.

Built-in calibration

An average calibration table is permanently stored in memory. The press of a single key stores a frequency measurement for use in a power measurement. The stored frequency is then used to access the power sensor calibration factor in the calibration-factor-versus-frequency tables.
