What Is a Signal Level Meter?
A signal level meter is a device designed to measure the intensity of radio frequency or optical signals.
This instrument captures signals through an antenna or optical fiber cable, processes these signals with a detector, converts them into a measurable voltage, and then displays the signal strength. It is an essential tool for broadcasters and telecommunications providers to ensure optimal broadcast and communication quality by accurately assessing signal intensity.
Its application extends to electronic equipment manufacturers, research entities, and academic institutions for analyzing radio frequency and optical signal performance and principles. The device includes components like antennas, optical fiber cables, detectors, filters, amplifiers, level converters, and display units. Noteworthy features include broad frequency range compatibility, diverse built-in functionalities, user-friendly operation, and portability.
