The Type 1803-A is | The Type 1803-A is an AC vacuum-tube voltmeter with a range from 0.1 to 150 V<sub>RMS</sub> at frequencies to 100 MHz without corrections. | ||
Except on the lowest range, it is peak-reading, but the scales are calibrated in RMS volts for sinusoidal voltages. | |||
The 1803-A features a hard-wired probe containing a dual-diode vacuum tube rectifier. From 20 Hz to about 100 MHz, accuracy is ±3% but the instrument is usable up to 200 MHz, refer to the manual for details. | |||
