Wideband AC Voltage Module (Option 5700A-03)
The Wideband AC Voltage Module (Option 5700A-03) can be installed in the 5730A
Calibrator. The module is a high-accuracy, low-noise, extremely flat ac voltage source to
calibrate RF voltmeters, with a frequency range of 10 Hz to 30 MHz. Output is in seven
ranges from 300
μ
V (-57 dBm) to 3.5 V (+24 dBm) through a Type-N coaxial connector
into a 50
Ω
load. The output level is selected in volts or dBm through either the front
panel controls or under remote control.
The wideband module also functions with the Calibrator output adjust controls that
display the error of a wideband meter in either percentage of output or in decibels.
Included with the wideband module is a Type-N output cable and a 50
Ω
terminator. The
wideband module is calibrated to the end of its standard-equipment output cable.
Auxiliary Amplifiers
The Fluke Calibration Model 5725A and 52120A amplifiers are available to extend the
high voltage performance and current range of the 5730A Calibrator.
Interface connectors on the Calibrator rear panel accept cables to directly operate a
5725A and/or 52120A. Multiple amplifiers can be connected to the Calibrator at the same
time, but only one output can be active at a time. Once the amplifiers are connected and
configured in the Product Setup Menu, amplifier operation is controlled by the Calibrator.
A maximum of three 52120As can be connected to provide a maximum of 360 A rms ac
or 300 A dc current when their outputs are connected in parallel.
See Chapter 4 for instructions to operate both amplifiers. The general specifications at the
end of this chapter include specifications to operate the 5730A Calibrator with both
amplifiers. For other amplifier specifications, refer to their instruction manuals. Table 1-2
summarizes the extended capabilities offered by the 5725A and 52120A. Brief
descriptions of the extended capabilities follow.
