	Specifications
	Agilent 81130A Specifications
	Timing Specifications
	The timing characteristics are measured at 50% amplitude at fastest
	transitions in continuous mode and 50 Ω load impedance.
NOTE	The Agilent 81130A is designed and recommended for an operation in the
	frequency range of 170 kHz to 400/660 MHz. However it can be operated
	in the extended range down to 1 kHz. Changes in specifications below
	170 kHz are set in brackets [].
	Period & Frequency
	Period can also be entered as frequency.

Period range:	2.5 ns to 1 ms	1.5 ns to 1 ms
Frequency range:	1 kHz to 400.0 MHz	1 kHz to 660.0 MHz

	Period/frequency	4 digits, 2 ps best case
	resolution:	4 digits, 2 ps best case
	resolution:
	Period accuracya:	± 100 ppm [0.01%]
	RMS-jitter:
	(internal reference,	0.001% + 15 ps
	internal clock)

aIn burst mode the first period may be decreased by 150 ps.

Repeatability is typically four times better than accuracy.
