The General Radio 1140-A UHF Wavemeter was introduced in Catalog L (1948) 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 is 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)
