DESCRIPTION

A.

General.

The

92E

R.F.

Millivoltmeter

provides

an

accurate

readout

of

measurements

from

the

low

radio

frequencies

to

the

gigahertz

region,

over

a

voltage

range

of

200

µV

to

3

volts.*

It

is

a

programmable,

solid

state

instrument

of

high

sensitivity

and

accuracy,

characterized

by

high

input

impedance

(see

Figures

1-1

and

1-2),

excellent

stability,

and

low

noise.

The 92E

exhibits

true

r.m.s.

response

for

input

signals

up

to

30

millivolts

gradually

approaching

peak-to-peak

above

this

level.t

The

meter,

however,

is

calibrated

to

indicate

r.m.s.

of

a

sine

wave

above

30

mv.

Input

and

output

connections

for

external

control

and

readout

are

provided

by

a

22

card

edge

connector

at

the

rear

of

the

instrument.

A

linear

d.c.

output,

the

level

of

which

is

proportional

to

the

r.f.

input

voltage,

is

also

provided

at

a

rear

connector.

This

d.c.

output

may

be

used

to

drive

a

recorder,

a

remote

indicator,

or

other

analog

devices.

The

instrument

is

sensitive,

accurate,

sturdily

constructed,

and

protected

against

overloads.

It

will

perform

over

extended

periods

of

time

without

failure

or

need

for

recalibration.

It

is

packaged

as

a

compact

bench

in-

strument

that

can

be

mounted

easily

in

a

standard

19

inch

rack,

us

an

optional

rack

mounting

kit.

B.

Accessories

Supplied.

Standard

accessories

supplied

with

the

Model 92E

include

one

each

of

the

following:

Model

952004-0lA

Probe

Tip

(removable),

C.

Frequency

Capability.

The

calibrated

frequency

range

of

the

Model 92E

extends

from

10

kHz

to

1.2

GHz,

with

uncalibrated

response

to

beyond

8 GHz.

Relative

accuracy*

above

1.2

GHz

is

typically

±0.5

dB.

A

952002-0lA,

50

BNC

Adapter,

is

supplied

as

a

standard

accessory

with

the

instrument

for

50

voltage

measurements

up

to

1.2

GHz.

For

through

line

voltage

measurements

the

optional

accessory

952003-0lA

is

recommended.

capacitance

and

to

present

a

good

s.w.r.

(better

than

1.15)

up

to

1.2

GHz.

It

may

be

used

in

conjunction

with

the

Model

952028-0lA

50

Ohm

Load

for

terminated

voltage

measurements.

In

a

coaxial

line

its

insertion

loss

is

low:

however,

a

graph

(Figure

2-2)

is

supplied,

showing

loss

vs.

frequency.

For

lower

frequency

measurements,

the

Model

91-4C

R.F.

Probe

is

available

as

an

optional

accessory.

Its

frequency

range

is

1 kHz

to

250

MHz.

D.

Voltage

Capability.

The

voltmeter

has

eight

ranges,

from

1 mv,

f.s.,

to

3

v,

f.s.,

arranged

in

a

1-3-10

sequence.

No

attenuator

attachments

are

required

for

measurements

up

to

3 v.

While

this

range

is

ample

for

most

radio

frequency

voltage

measurements,

the

capability

of

the

instrument

can

be

increased

to

300

V

(up

to

700

MHz),

by

using

an

optional

accessory,

the

high

impedance

100:1

Voltage

Divider.

Use

of

this

100:1

Voltage

Divider

also

increases

the

input

resistance

by

a

factor

of

1000

to

3000,

depending

upon

the

input

level.

E.

True

R.M.s.

Response.

The

Model

92E

provides

true

r.m.s.

response

for

signal

inputs

below

approximately

30

mV

(below

3 v,

up

to

700

MHz,

with

the

100:1

Voltage

Divider).

As

the

input

level

increases,

the

waveform

response

gradually

approaches

peak-to-peak,

calibrated

on

the

indicator

in

r.m.s.

F.

Low

Noise.

The

Model

92E

has

been

designed

and

constructed

to

hold

noise

from

all

sources

to

a

minimum.

The

probe

cable

is

of

special

low

noise

design~

a

vigorous

flexing

causes

only

momentary,

minor

deflections

of

the

meter

on

the

most

sensitive

range.

The

probe

itself

is

insensitive

to

shock

or

to

vibration.

Amplification

takes

place

at

94

Hz,

reducing

susceptibility

to

any

50

or

60

Hz

line

frequency

The

input

signals

from

the

probe

are

converted

into

94

Hz

signals

by

a

solid

state

chopper.

G.

Minimal

zero

Adjustment.

zero

adjustment

is

not

required

on

the

upper

five

sensitivity

ranges

of

the

voltmeter.

For

measurements

on

the

lower

three

ranges,

the

ZERO

control

is

adjusted

on

the

most

sensitive

range

before

operation.

Only

infrequent

checking

will

be

required

during

the

course

of

subsequent

measurements.

H.

D.C.

Output.

The

Model

92E

provides

a

linear

d.c.

output

whose

current

capability

of

1

mA

into

1000

ohms

is

extremely

stable.

When

used

as

part

of

an

automatic

test

system,

the

fast

response

of

the

instrument's

d.c.

output

to

an

input

step

function

allows

many

tests

per

unit

time.

For

system

or

external

requirements,

all

input

and

output

connections

for

the

92E

are

made

at

the

card

edge

connector

at

the

rear

of

the

instrument.

(See

§2-9

for

receptacle

connections.)
