RF Sampler for monitoring transmission characteristics

The RF Sampler or sampling port is designed to sit in-line with the transmitter and other components of the transmission line before the antenna. Its purpose is to allow a small, safe pick off voltage of the transmitted RF to be used to feed an oscilloscope or other monitoring instrument. The sampler allows the transmitted RF to be examined and measured as required. The RF envelope of AM, CW or SSB transmissions can be viewed real time using this sampling port.

The port is built around a potential divider that allows the RF voltage generated by the transmitter to be taped off to provide a safe usable voltage at the sampling port BNC. A DC blocking capacitor is also included to prevent unwanted DC components from passing through the sampling port. The sampler is suitable for transmitted RF monitoring from 1 – 100 Watts in all modes.
