Default Real RMS question


"dave the autistic fool "

As Clint Eastwood might have said -

" Man's gotta know the limitations of his test equipment ".



In television you calibrate the output power metering by operating into a
full power liquid cooled dummy load and measuring the temperature of the
coolant.


** That would be for the actual transmitter on VHF or UHF - right ?

Same idea as using a glass of water and a thermometer test the power RF
power of a microwave oven.

Got SFA to do with the topic.
