A-003-04: Crystal calibrator, marking generator, frequency counter

A-003-04-01: What does a frequency counter do?

It makes frequency measurements

It measures frequency deviation

It generates broad-band white noise for calibration

It produces a reference frequency



A-003-04-02: What factors limit the accuracy, frequency response and stability of a frequency counter?

Time base accuracy, speed of the logic, and time base stability

Time base accuracy, temperature coefficient of the logic and time base stability

Number of digits in the readout, speed of the logic, and time base stability

Number of digits in the readout, external frequency reference and temperature coefficient of the logic



A-003-04-03: How can the accuracy of a frequency counter be improved?

By increasing the accuracy of the time base

By using slower digital logic

By using faster digital logic

By improving the accuracy of the frequency response



A-003-04-04: If a frequency counter with a time base accuracy of +/- 0.1 PPM reads 146 520 000 Hz, what is the most that the actual frequency being measured could differ from that reading? (PPM = parts per million)

14.652 Hz

0.1 MHz

1.4652 Hz

1.4652 kHz



A-003-04-05: If a frequency counter, with a time base accuracy of 10 PPM reads 146 520 000 Hz, what is the most the actual frequency being measured could differ from that reading? (PPM = parts per million)

1465.2 Hz

146.52 Hz

146.52 kHz

1465.2 kHz



A-003-04-06: The clock in a frequency counter normally uses a:

crystal oscillator

self-oscillating Hartley oscillator

mechanical tuning fork

free-running multivibrator



A-003-04-07: The frequency accuracy of a frequency counter is determined by:

the characteristics of the internal time-base generator

the size of the frequency counter

type of display used in the counter

the number of digits displayed
