Pendulum Frequency and Time Counters
CNT-91, the fastest and most accurate frequency counter- speed of up to 250'000 measurements per second and up to 15'000 per second via GPIB
- resolution of 12 digits in 1 second
- 50 ps single shot time interval resolution
- up to 20GHz range
- burst measurements down to 20ns
- plug-and-play compatibility with Agilent 53131A
- available with built-in Rubidium reference (CNT-91R)
TimeView3 PC software for CNT-91 enables modulation domain analysis (frequency over time, e.g. of bursts and chirps in radar signals, frequency settling of oscillators, jitter etc.).

The emulation of Agilent's Modulation Domain Analyzer 53310A is described in this application note
CNT-90XL is the latest product of Pendulum Instruments. It is the fastest microwave counter
with integrated power measurement, available in versions ranging from 27GHz to 60GHz.
data sheet CNT-90XL
How to optimize 24GHz radar sensors and reduce test costs with CNT-90XL is described in this
Success Story.
CNT-90 has most of the features of the previous products (up to 20GHz) at a lower cost.

Pendulum Frequency Standards
GPS-based Frequency Standards
GPS-12 is a portable GPS-synchronized frequency standard, which achieves Cesium-like stability with the built-in OCXO, Rubidium-reference or Glonass-synchronisation. data sheet GPS-12 (+ OCXO or Rubidium)
data sheet GPS12RG (+ Glonass, GPS + Rubidium)
Rubidium and other Frequency Standards
GPS-88 and GPS-88R (Rubidium)Frequency standards 6688 and 6689 (with Rubidium) are identical to Fluke models 908 and 909.
DA-36 Frequency Distribution Amplifier
The Pendulum DA-36 frequency distribution amplifier offers an economical solution to the problem of low-jitter transfer of frequency reference signals over longer distance.
