Selective Level Meter for Broadband Measurement
SPM-101
This is a meter that can measure the overall transmission characteristics of a variety of carrier telephone equipment and communication devices over a frequency range of 20 Hz to 6.4 MHz.
Collectively integrating the oscillator and selective level meter unit, SPM-101 can be used for measurement by switching its selective filters with bandwidths (BW) of 6 Hz, 70 Hz, and 3.1 kHz.
Equipment Category
Selective level meter
Power supply
AC adaptor
Introduction of an analog type meter
The displays of the level meter unit comprise of an analog and a digital meter, thus allowing the visual check of input signal level fluctuations.
Equipped with a signal search function
Demonstrates its strong capabilities to search unknown signals.
Equipped with both the selective level meter unit and oscillator unit
Under development. It enables distortion measurement by setting different frequencies for both units as well as measurement by interlocking their frequencies.
Powered by 100 V AC only.
