Product Overview:
Fluke Metrology Calibration 27 GHz 96270A RF reference source is the simplest, most accurate and cost-effective single instrument for calibrating spectrum analyzers and RF power sensors. Its precise signal levels and attenuation, high signal purity, and precise low-distortion modulation make this reference source significantly superior to general-purpose signal generators commonly used to calibrate spectrum analyzers, RF power sensors, attenuators, and similar instruments. Its low phase noise provides excellent phase noise performance.
Unlike many RF calibration solutions, the 96270A is designed specifically for RF calibration and has a calibration-oriented user interface that is easy to learn and operate. The 96270A simplifies and speeds up calibration procedures, reduces the chance of operator error, and greatly simplifies RF metering. As the core of RF and microwave calibration systems, the 96270A covers more than 80% of the test points needed to calibrate virtually all spectrum analyzers in any frequency range. For many spectrum analyzer models operating at frequencies below 27 GHz, you only need a 96270A to perform the entire calibration. You can't simplify any more!
The 96270A is automated with MET/CAL® calibration management software, which reduces complexity and calibration time, improves efficiency and increases capacity compared to manual methods.
