1250 Frequency Response Analyzer
The 1250 series of Frequency Response Analyzers (FRAs) provide a range of accurate solutions for the measurement of gain, phase and AC impedance (when coupled with a suitable AC impedance interface). Solartron's renowned single sine correlation technique (SSC) ensures rejection of all harmonics whilst allowing signals to be measured that are buried in the noise. Whether your application is transfer function analysis for control systems or AC impedance analysis of material/electrochemical cells, the capabilities of the 1250 series FRA have made this product an industry standard.
Features

- Voltage measurement range 1µV to 300Vrms
- Sine, square and triangle waveforms
- Frequency range 10µHz to 65.5kHz
- Frequency resolution 1 in 65,535
- Automatic sweeps - linear/log frequency, harmonic
Applications
Control Systems
Used stand-alone, the 1250 is routinely used to characterize:
- Automated test systems
- Power supplies (PSUs)
- Aircraft instrumentation/system controls
- Aerodynamic tests
- Weapons guidance systems
- Rocket propulsion and vectoring technology
Electrochemistry
The 1250 in conjunction with a 1287A Potentiostat can be used to measure the impedance of electrochemical cells. Typical applications include:
- Corrosion and inhibitor studies
- Fuel cell testing and battery research
- Characterization of thin films and coatings
- Electroanalytical systems
Materials Science
Impedance measurements of materials and components can be performed with a 1250 plus a 1296A or 1294A Interface. Applications include:
- Dielectric materials testing (dielectric constant, permittivity, tan-delta, dielectric loss)
- Characterization of fuel cell components
- Analysis of curing and polymerization reactions
- Charge transport in semiconductors, organic crystals and ceramics
- Bio-impedance tests on live subjects
