1252A Frequency Response Analyzer
Using the single sine correlation technique (SSC), the 1252A provides precise measurement of gain and phase between any two points in a system. This fully digital technique is used to assess performance of both simple and complex systems - mechanical, electronic and electrochemical.
Features
- Automatic rejection of noise and harmonics
- Frequency range 10µHz to 300kHz
- Frequency resolution 1 in 65,535
- Blind front panel - software control only
Applications
Control Systems
Used stand-alone, the 1252A 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 1252A in conjunction with a 1287 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 1250A 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
