Drake directional, through line wattmeter, using printed circuits, toroids, and state of the art techniques, permit versatile performance and unsurpassed accuracy, yet at a lower cost.
In contrast to VSWR measuring devices of the past, Drake wattmeters are frequency insensitive throughout their specified range, requiring no adjustments for power or VSWR measurements.
Negligible insertion loss allows continuous monitoring of either forward or reflected power for fast ac-curate tune up and checking of transmitter-antenna performance.
Indirectly measure radiated power (forward power minus reflected power) and VSWR by means of a plastic monogram included. Each wattmeter makes possible quick, accurate adjustments of antenna resonance and impedance match, when placed between transmitter and matching network.
High accuracy; ideal as laboratory instruments. Removable coupler allows remote metering.
