Frequency and Time Counters and Standards
Introductory Offer for CNT-9x plus TimeView™
CNT-91, the fastest and most accurate frequency counter, with a speed of up to 250'000 measurements per second and up to 15'000 per second via GPIB at a resolution of 12 digits in 1 second. Other highlights:
+ graphical display of measurement results and statistics
+ 50 ps single shot time interval resolution
+ up to 20GHz range, burst measurements down to 20ns
+ plug-and-play compatibility with Agilent 53131A
+ also available with built-in Rubidium reference (CNT-91R) data sheet CNT-91 and CNT-91R
TimeView3 PC software for CNT-91 enables modulation domain analysis (frequency over time, e.g. of bursts and chirps in radar signals, frequency settling of oscillators, jitter etc.). data sheet TimeView3
The emulation of Agilent's Modulation Domain Analyzer 53310A is described in this application note
TimeView2 PC software enables modulation domain analysis for CNT-90 and CNT-91. data sheet TimeView2
CNT-90XL is the latest product of Pendulum Instruments. It is the fastest microwave counter with integrated power measurement, available in versions ranging from 27GHz to 60GHz. data sheet CNT-90XL
How to optimize 24GHz radar sensors and reduce test costs with CNT-90XL is described in this Success Story.
CNT-90 has most of the features of the previous products (up to 20GHz) at a lower cost. data sheet CNT-90
The compatibility of CNT-90 with Agilent 53131A is described in this application note.
CNT-85 and CNT-85R are low-cost frequency counters, optionally with Rubidium reference. data sheet CNT-85 and CNT-85R
Pendulum produces the counters which are offered under the Fluke brand name, e.g..
Fluke PM 6685 = Pendulum CNT-85, Fluke PM 6685-R = Pendulum CNT-85R, Fluke PM 6690 = Pendulum CNT-90
Tektronix frequency counters FCA3000, FCA3100 and MCA3000 are made by Pendulum.
Tektronix FCA3000 = Pendulum CNT-90
Tektronix FCA3003= Pendulum CNT-90 with 3 GHz input option
Tektronix FCA3020 = Pendulum CNT-90 with 20 GHz input option
Tektronix FCA3100 = Pendulum CNT-91 basic
Tektronix FCA3103 = Pendulum CNT-91 with 3 GHz input option
Tektronix FCA3120 = Pendulum CNT-91 with 20 GHz input option
Tektronix MCA3027 = Pendulum CNT-90XL/27G (27 GHz Version)
Tektronix MCA3040 = Pendulum CNT-90XL/40G (40 GHz Version)
GPS-12 is a portable GPS-synchronized frequency standard, which achieves Cesium-like stability with the built-in OCXO, Rubidium-reference or Glonass-synchronisation. data sheet GPS-12 (+ OCXO or Rubidium), data sheet GPS12RG (+ Glonass + Rubidium)
Other frequency standards: GPS-88 and GPS-88R (Rubidium), GPS Pico Reference
The frequency standards 6688 and 6689 (with Rubidium) are identical to Fluke models 908 and 909.
