Skip menuMeter-calibrator of THD SK6-20А.
Purpose:
- Meter-calibrator SK6-20A is designed for:
- automatic measurements of amplitude and frequency of first harmonic;
- automаtic measurements of signal THD value;
- generation of harmonic signals with given standardized values of amplitude and frequency;
- generation of signals with given standardized values of amplitude and frequency of first harmonic and THD value.
- Meter-calibrator also has following capabilities:
- determination of amplitude levels and starting phase of individual harmonics relatevly to the first one;
- determination of total level of interharmonics which fill signal spectrum between first harmonic and higher ones; total level of interharmonics is relative to the level of first harmonic
- determination of amplitude-frequency characteristic and phase-frequency characteristic of quadripoles.
- Meter-calibrator SK6-20A-01 can be used as secondary standard of THD value and SK6-20A – as a first grade working standard of THD value. Also SK6-20A can be used in analysis of metering instruments and different radio engineering equipment.
- Meter-calibrator SK6-20A constists of metering unit SK6-20A, generator-calibrator of harmonic signals SK6-122 and external PC, which is not included in delivery set.
