Used BOONTON 5232 #9104492 for sale

BOONTON 5232 is an electronic test equipment designed to measure modulation depth of AM and FM radio signals. The device utilizes a wide-logarithmic amplifier and a venturi detector to provide superior linearity and stability. 5232 is available in three versions: standard, wide range, and dual range. The standard version operates over a range from 10 Hz to 30 MHz with nominal input of 3.2 MHz rms and an impedance match of 50 ohms. The wide-range version covers a frequency range of 10 Hz to 180 MHz with input power of 8.2 MHz rms and impedance match of 50 ohms. The dual-range version covers two ranges from 10 Hz to 60 MHz and 50 MHz to 180 MHz with input power of 8.2 MHz and rms impedance match of 50 ohms. The superior linearity of BOONTON 5232 allows it to accurately measure modulation depth down to 0.1 percent. The unit also provides a detachable power supply which is used to generate a modulating signal. The modulating signal is then compared to the input signal to determine modulation depth. The unit also features a curved logarithmic amplifier, which reproduces an output that is proportional to the logarithm of the input signal. This results in a high level of accuracy when measuring complex signals. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a high impedance analog venturi detector, which provides the user with a superior frequency response. Lastly, 5232 includes an automatic gain compensation circuit, which provides superior measurement accuracy and dynamic range. This feature enables the unit to measure both continuously adjustable and stepped modulated signals. Overall, BOONTON 5232 is an exemplary electronic test equipment for measuring the modulation depth of AM and FM radio signals. Its curved logarithmic amplifier, venturi detector and gain compensation circuit provide superior accuracy and linearity when measuring complex signals, while its detachable power supply and automatic advancement feature ensure accurate measurements are acquired quickly and easily.
