Admittance Meter
Information
The Type 1602-B U-H-F Admittance Meter is a simple, flexible
instrument for the measurement of admittance and impedance
over a wide frequency range. As a null instrument the U-H-F
Admittance Meter can be used to measure the conductance and
susceptance of an unknown circuit directly. It can also be
used as a comparator to indicate equality of one admittance
to another, or degree of departure of one from the other. As
a direct indicating device, in addition, it can be used to
determine the magnitude of the reflection coefficient on a
50-ohm coaxial line or the magnitude of an unknown impedance
from ratios of output voltages read on a meter.
When the admittance meter is used in conjunction with an
adjustable- length coaxial line having a uniform
characteristic impedance, such as the Type 874-LK20
Constant-lmpedance Adjustable Line, impedance and admittance
measurements can be simplified as the correction for the
length of transmission line between the unknown and the
instrument can be eliminated. Also when the admittance meter
is used with a wide-range balun of the proper type, such as
the Type 874-UB Balun, accurate measurements can be easily
made on balanced circuits over a wide frequency range.
The instrument is best suited to measurements on
coaxial-line circuits naving a 50-ohm characteristic
impedance, but, in addition, measurements can be made on
components or on coaxial-line circuits having characteristic
impedances different from 50 ohms. The nominal frequency
range of the instrument is from 40 to 1500 Me, but
measurements can be made at frequencies as low as 10 Me. For
admittance measurements using the null method, the magnitude
of the conductive component of the unknown admittance is
indicated directlv on a scale which
...........
of the susceptive component is indicated on another scale
which is calibrated from -20 to 0 to +20 millimhos. A third
scale on the dial indicates the multiplier used which
applies to both other scales. The multiplying-factor scale
is calibrated from 1 to infinity. Therefore, theoretically,
the instrument can measure admittances from zero to
infinity; however, at either extreme the accuracy becomes
poor because the dials cannot be read or set accurately. The
instrument can also be used to advantage for matching a load
to a line, as the instrument can be set up to indicate a
matched condition when the output is zero; therefore, a
continuous iqdication of the quality of the match is
indicated by the output from the detector.
