The General Radio 874-VQ is a "voltmeter detector" with two GR-874 connectors for the signal, and either a GR-874 or a BNC connector for the rectified output.

It is used in frequency response measurements with a 1750-A Sweep Drive and 1263-A Amplitude Regulating Power Supply. An 874-VI Voltmeter Indicator can be used for calibrated measurements from 0.1 to 2 V.

It contains a 1N23B diode and a mica capacitor.

The 874-VQL is identical but has locking 874 connectors.

The 874-VQ is similar to the 874-VR Voltmeter Rectifier, but omits the latter's 50 Ω series resistor, and includes matching elements to compensate for the discontinuity caused by the diode capacitance.

Key Specifications

  • Frequency range: 500 kHz to 2 GHz ("in limited application" up to 7 GHz)
  • Maximum input: 2 V
  • VSWR: ≤1.1 @ 1 GHz, ≤1.2 @ 2 GHz; rising rapidly above 2.5 GHz
  • Resonant frequency: 3.6 GHz
