The General Radio 1140-A UHF Wavemeter introduced in 1948 Catalog L and remained available through Catalog N 1954.
The 1140-A is a simple device to measure frequency in the UHF range of 240 to 1200 MHz with 2% accuracy. Behind the rear window is what's called a Butterfly circuit which varies capacitance and inductance simultaneously to attain resonance. Resonance is indicated with a microammeter.
Specifications
- Frequency Range: 240-1200 MHz in one range
- Accuracy: ±2% of the indicated frequency
- Detector: A type 1N22 Crystal Detector (Microwave Diode)
