ST2050 Series

ST2050 Series frequency standard comparators are high accuracy instruments for time domain parameters measuring, which are composed of dual mixer difference channels and data acquisition processing system, combining sampling, data processing, storage, display in one instrument.

It is used to compare the frequency stability and accuracy of a reference frequency standard with that of an unknown or test frequency standard. Its purpose is to assess the performance of the test frequency standard by comparing it to a more accurate and stable reference.

The frequency standard comparator typically consists of two frequency standards, one serving as the reference and the other as the test standard. The reference standard is a highly accurate and stable source of frequency, often based on atomic clocks or other precise timekeeping mechanisms. The test standard is the frequency source being evaluated or calibrated.

The comparator measures the frequency output of both the reference and test standards and compares them. It quantifies the differences in frequency and provides information about the stability, accuracy, and precision of the test standard relative to the reference. This assessment helps determine if the test standard meets the required specifications or if adjustments or calibrations are necessary.

Frequency standard comparators are essential tools in various fields, including metrology, telecommunications, scientific research, and electronic manufacturing. They play a crucial role in maintaining and verifying the accuracy and stability of frequency standards used in critical applications, such as timekeeping, synchronization, navigation systems, and communication networks.
