Modulation Meter Type 409
A wide range highly sensitive instrument, designed to measure percentage amplitude modulation (a.m.) of carriers from 3 - 1200MHz and frequency deviation (f.m.) on carriers from 3 - 1500MHz.
 
The meter scales for AM are : -
0 - 10%
0 - 30%
0 - 100%

The meter scales for FM are : -
0 - 3k Hz
0 - 10k Hz
0 - 30k Hz
0 - 100k Hz
0 - 300k Hz
0 - 600k Hz deviation.

Outputs at the intermediate frequency (nominally 1MHz) and at l.f. are available at front panel terminals.

An in built switched noise filter permits measurement of very narrow f.m. deviations using a sensitive external I .f. millivoltmeter.

Changes in mean carrier level when a.m. is applied can be measured to better than 1% accuracy and effective i.f. limiting permits measurement of spurious f.m. on a.m.

An f.m. calibrator circuit, which can be checked directly on an electronic counter, is provided within the instrument to enable periodical calibration to be carried out.

Tuning the instrument at very high frequencies has been simplified by the provision of a fine tuning control and a SET l.F. position on the meter switch.

In this position the tuning control is simply adjusted until the meter reads to the SET l.F. mark, thus eliminating tedious peaking procedures.

The instrument is fully stabilised against changes in mains supply voltage of ±10% from the value set on the mains voltage selector.

The power consumption is approximately 120 VA.

The instrument is supplied in a metal case with quickly detachable top, base and sides.

A rack mounting kit is available.
