Two models have RF sampler ports, while the Bird 43P can measure peak power. The B
40、ird 4520 series come ready for panel mounting. Differences are discussed in Chapter 6, on page 35. Except where indicated, instructions and specifications for the 43 apply to other models also. The 43 is an insertion-type RF wattmeter, designed to measure RF power and load match in 50 ohm coaxial tr
41、ansmission lines. It is intended for use with CW, AM, FM, and TV modulation, but not pulse modulation. When used in 50 ohm applications, the 43 has a maximum VSWR of 1.05 for frequencies up to 1000 MHz. The meter provides direct readings in watts with an expanded scale for easy reading. The scale is
42、 graduated for 25, 50, and 100 full scale. Elements are available in a variety of power and frequency ranges (see the Bird Electronic Corporation Catalog for details). Performance Characteristics and Capabilities The Bird 43 is portable, with an attached carrying strap. It has an aluminum housing an
43、d an easily removed back cover, with bumpers on the base and back that allow the meter to stand or lie flat. For additional protection, the microammeter is specially shock mounted. A slotted screw on the lower front face of the meter is used to zero the pointer. Below the meter face, the RF line sec
44、tion protrudes slightly from the wattmeter housing with the element socket in the center. Bird Model 43 Wattmeter 2 A shielded cable connects the RF line section to the rest of the wattmeter. This lets you remove the line section from the wattmeter housing for custom installation and still make meas
45、urements. The RF line section is precision machined to provide the best possible impedance match to the transmission line under test. A formed phosphor-bronze spring finger protrudes into the element socket to make contact with the element. At each end of the line section are Bird Quick-Change RF co
46、nnectors that may be interchanged with any other Bird “QC” connector. The wattmeter housing does not interfere with connector changes. To make measurements, a Bird Plug-In Element is inserted into the line section socket and rotated against one of the stops. A small catch in the corner of the socket
47、 face presses on the shoulder of the element to keep it in proper alignment. This assures good contact between the spring finger and the element contact and between the lower edge of the element and the line section body (see Figure 1). Contacts on opposite sides of the element connect with the spri
48、ng finger when the element is in the forward or reverse position. This occurs when the stop pin on the element is against either stop and the catch is in place.

49、 Travelling Wave Viewpoint The easiest way to visualize Thruline operation is from a travelling wave viewpoint. In transmission lines the voltages, currents, standing waves, etc., on any uniform line section result from the interaction of two travelling waves: ? The forward wave (and its power) travels from the source to the load. It has RF voltage Ef and current If in phase, with Ef / If = Zo. ? The reflected wave (and its power) originates by reflection at the load and travels from the load back to the source. It has an RF voltage Er and current Ir in phase, with Er / Ir = Z
