1-5. Wideband AC Voltage Module (Option 5700A-03)
The Wideband AC Voltage Module (Option 5700A-03) can be installed in both the
5700A and 5720A Series II Calibrators. The module is a high-accuracy, low-noise,
extremely flat ac voltage source for calibrating rf voltmeters, with a frequency range of
10 Hz to 30 MHz. Output is in seven ranges from 300 µV (-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’s output adjust controls that let
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.
1-6. Auxiliary Amplifier
The Fluke Model 5725A Amplifier is available to extend the high voltage performance
and current range of the calibrator:
Interface connectors on the calibrator’s rear panel accept cables to directly operate a
5725A. Three amplifiers can be connected to the calibrator at the same time, but only one
output can be active at a time. Once you have connected the amplifiers and configured
the calibrator in a setup menu, amplifier operation is controlled by the calibrator.
Chapter 4 provides instructions for operating the 5725A. The general specifications at the
end of this chapter include specifications for operating the calibrator with the 5725A. For
other amplifier specifications, refer to their instruction manuals. Table 1-1 summarizes
the extended capabilities offered by the 5725A. Brief descriptions of the extended
capabilities follow.
