1-9. Wideband Module (Option 5790A-03)
To measure ac voltage in the 1 to 30 MHz range, the 5790A requires the 5790A-03
Wideband Module. Instructions for operating the 5790A in wideband mode are provided
in Section 4, and specifications for wideband operation are provided at the end of this
section.
The WIDEBAND input presents a 50
Ω
load to the source. Signals accepted are from
700 μ V to 7 V over a frequency range of 10 Hz to 30 MHz. Only the lower eight 5790A
voltage ranges are used by the WIDEBAND input.
Use the WIDEBAND input to measure the frequency flatness of 50
Ω
signal sources such
as the 5700A WIDEBAND output. You can use the delta display to show the error of the
source in ppm as you sweep the source through the WIDEBAND input frequency range.
