1253A - Frequency Response Analyzer

The 1253A Frequency Response Analyzer has a range of 300 V and up to 20 kHz

 

 

  • Frequency range from 20 kHz to 10 µHz 
  • Sine, square, triangle Voltage generator up to 10 V RMS and ± 10.22 V DC
  • Two (2) voltage measurement channels multiplexed to 500 V peak
  • Transfer function accuracy to 1%, 1⁰
  • Capable of performing DC potentiostatic and galvanostatic experiments with the 1287A electrochemical interface
  • Impedance range from 100 mOhm to 100 TOhm, with the 1296A dielectric interface

 

Applications and Software

 

The 1253A Frequency Response Analyzer (FRA) is an instrument capable of meeting today's measurement requirements for dynamic systems analysis. Using the Single Sine Correlation (SSC) technique, it provides accurate data related to gain and phase between any point in a dynamic system. This instrument allows engineers to perform search analysis to assess the performance of simple or complex systems.
 


Characteristics

 

  • AC Amplitude Range - 0 to 10.23 V rms
