2302

The Keithley 2302 is a single-channel high-speed battery simulator designed specifically for testing portable, battery-operated devices such as cellular phones, transceivers, and medical electronics. It mimics the transient response and variable output resistance of a real battery, enabling precise assessment of device behavior under realistic operating conditions.
