  • ## Product Details for Tektronix 5A18N
  • The Tektronix 5A18N is a dual-trace amplifier that was part of the Tektronix 5000 Series oscilloscope plug-in family. It was designed for use in oscilloscopes to provide additional amplification and signal conditioning for low-level signals. The 5A18N offered a bandwidth of DC to 2 MHz and a sensitivity of 1 mV/div.
  • **Key Features:**
  • * **Dual-trace amplification:** The 5A18N could amplify and display two separate input signals simultaneously, allowing for comparison and analysis of waveforms.
  • * **Wide bandwidth:** The amplifier’s DC to 2 MHz bandwidth made it suitable for a wide range of applications, including audio, video, and pulse signal analysis.
  • * **High sensitivity:** The 1 mV/div sensitivity enabled the amplification of very small signals, making it useful for measuring low-level noise, transients, and other subtle signal variations.
  • * **Signal conditioning:** The 5A18N incorporated signal conditioning circuitry to optimize the input signals for display on the oscilloscope, improving the accuracy and clarity of waveform representation.
