TYPE 1931-A
AMPLITUDE-MODULATION MONITOR
INTRODUOION
cuits are p rovided. One of chese can be matched
directly to a 600-ohm line and is useful for audiofrequency monitoring. The other is intended for use
with the T ype 1932-A Distortion and Noise Meter
for measuring overall transmitter distortion and earner n01se.
The percentage-modulation meter carries an
auxiliary db scale, and hence the monitor can be used
for progam-level monitoring.
Overall audio-frequency response can also be
measured with this monitor.
The Type 1931-A Amplitude Modulation Monitor is designed for monitoring the modulation percentage of A-M transmitters. It gives (1) a
continuous indication of either positive or negative
modulation peaks, as selected by a panel switch, and
(2) a visual indication of positive peaks in excess of
a predetermined level which is set by means of a dial
on the panel, and (3) an indication of the relative
magnitude of any shift in average carrier amplitude
which may occur during modulation.

INSTALLATION
1.1 INPUT COUPLING
1.11 Two sets of input tuning coils are avatlable
to covet· the carrier-frequency , range. One set, consisting of the T ype 1931-PS -1 Tuning Coil and the
Type 1931-PS-2 Coupling Coil, covers the 0.5-to-8
Me portion of the range. The other set, consisting
of the Type 1931-P6- l Tuning Coil and the Type
l93l-P6-2 Coupling Coil, covers the 3-to-60 Me
portion of the range.
1.15 When the Type 1931 -PS-1 Tuni-ng Coil is
used, the t riangular connector provided with the coil
must connect the central terminal to either one or
two of the other terminals, depending on its position, and must be oriented so that the arrow on the
connector points to the terminal for the desired
frequency range.
1.12 The tuning coil of each set cover its portion
of the range in four steps as selected by the setting
of a connecting strap on the coil.
1.13 The frequency range for each of the four
steps is indicated by engraved numerals adjacent to
a terminal on the tuning coil.
1.14 When the Type l931 -P6-1 Tuning Coil is
used, the connecting strap must c:onnect the central
terminal of the coil to the terminal for the desired
frequency range.

mitter output or in the coupling system. The TUNE
FOR MAXIMUM control must be very carefully
set to resonance to avoid sideband clipping.
1.17 The coupling coil of a set is mounted with
two screws on the mounting block of the carrier
control shaft.
1.23 The tuned ci rcuit in the instrument is
damped by two 10,000-ohm resistors in parallel. If
one of the resistors is removed, somewhat less power
will be required to operate the instrument, but sideband clipping will be increased, although not to a
serious extent. At the higher carrier frequencies ,
these load resistors may be removed without increasing side-band clipping appreciably.
1.18 The tuning coil is mounted with two thumb
nuts on the brackets either side of the shaft. A plug
on the tuning coil must be inserted in a corresponding jack on the instrument.
1.19 Sideband clipping varies directly with tuning capacity. While sideband clipping will in any
event be less than 0.5 db for modulating frequencies
below 15 kilocycles, it is advantageous to use the
lower tuning caEacitance when there is a choice because of overlap in coil ranges.
1.3 POWER SUPPLY
1.31 The instrument can be operated from any
115/ 230 volt, 50-60 cycle line. Connections on the
power transformer enable the input to be changed
from 115 to 230 volts, if required. See Figure 2,
below, for connection data. The power supply
name-plate is reversible, and should be turned over
if the transformer connections are changed.
1.2 COUPLING TO TRANSMITTER
1.21 This instrument has been designed to operate from the standard R.M.A. Monitor-Output connection, which will provide an output of 10 volts
into a load of 75 ohms. For those transmitters not
provided with a Monitor-Output connection the
most convenient way to couple the Type 1931-A
Modulation Monitor to the transmitter is to install
a small coil of a very few turns close to the antenna
lead or to the tank circuit. This coil is then connected to the monitor input terminals. An ordinary
rubber-insulated single-conductor concentric cable
of around 75 ohms impedance has been found convenient. This forms a low-impedance link circuit
with the coil mounted in the monitor. •
1.22
1.32 Internal voltage regulators permit stable
operation of the instrument over a range of 105-125
(11 0-250) volts.
1.33 Rear Connections: The connector furnished
with the instrument must be plugged into the rear
Jones socket in order to obtain readings on the Percentage Modulation Meter. The electrical circuit is
completed by a connection between terminals No. 7
and No. 10. If a remote meter is used, remove this
connection and add the external meter circuit between terminals No. 7 and N . 8. (The external impedance thus added should be 700 ohms ± 20r,J .)
1.34
Sufficient coupling must be provided so
?.30V.
The 600-ohm audio monitoring output is
available at terminals No. 11 and No. 12. NOTE:
No. 12 terminal is grounded, and should connect to
the external line shield. This circuit cannot be used
that when the instrument is turned on, the CARRIER meter can be SET TO 100 after the signal has
been tuned to resonance by means of the TUNE
FOR MAXIMUM control. Some margin in the setting of the carrier SET TO 100 control knob must
be allowed to compensate for changes in the trans-

OPERATION
necting shielded cable is supplied. T his is clearly
marked with the instrument type numbers on either
end, to identify the proper positions. When the instruments are installed in a relay rack, with the
1931-A above the 1932-A, this cable will be found
to fit easily in place.
2.1 PROCEDURE
2.11
Turn on power switch.
2.12 With the power on and no carrier applied,
the carrier meter should read zero. The mechanical
adjustment should be used, if necessary.
2.22 It is important that t he MODULATION
PEAKS dial be set at approximately the modulation
level indicated on the PERCENTAGE MODULATION meter, when these measurements are made.
If the dial is not set in this manner, distortion readings obtained on the Type 1932-A Distortion and
·Noise Meter may be slightly high.
2.13 W ith power on and no carrier applied the
percentage modulation meter should read zero. The
mechanical adjustment on the meter may be used to
bring it to zero. This check can be made when the
carrier input is applied to the instrument, if the carrier is unmodulated. If this is done, be sure the
modulation due to noise is not sufficient to deflect
the meter.
2.23 If the dial is set too far below the actual
percentage modulation, distortion at the higher
audio frequencies will be introduced by excessive reactance load ing of the diode rectifier.
2.14 With the carrier applied but with no modulation, TUNE FOR M4.XIMUM reading of the
CARRIER meter. For t his adjust ment, the SET TO
100 carrier control should be set back sufficiently so
that the meter reading does not exceed 100. Aft\!r
the instrument h as been tuned for resonance, the
SET TO 10d control may be advanced to obtain a
reading of 100 on the meter. Retune if necessarv.
With the circuit correctly tuned to resonance a~d
wit h the meter reading 100, all direct-reading scales
are standardized. W hen modulation is applied, any
shift in average carrier amplitude may be read directly in percent on the CARRIER meter.
2.24 If the dial is set above the actual percentage
modulation, the voltage input to the Type 1932-A
may be too low to permit normal operation of the
latter, but no increase of distortion will result.
2.25 In any case, an error in setting of this dial
will in no way affect the readings of the Type
1931-A Amplitude-Modulation Monitor.
2.26 P recautions - Because of the extremely low
noise level which these instruments are capable of
reading, certain 'precautions must be observed if full
advantages are to be realized. Operation of these instruments in the presence of strong external electromagnetic fields is not advisable. Sufficient shielding
has been provided for most conditions normally encountered. Some trouble may occur from powerfrequency sources, giving rise to hum pickup. Good
grounding, and reversing one, or both, of the power
connecting cords has been found helpful in certain
cases.
2.15 If t he transmitter is now modulated, the
PERCENT AGE MODULATION meter will read
the instantaneous percentage modulation, and readings for either positive or negative peaks can be obtained by means of the PEAKS switch.
2.16 The MODULATION PEAKS dial can be
set at the maxim um value of percentage modulation
at which it is desired to operate, and the OVER
MODULATION lamp will flas h whenever this percentage is exceeded. The lamp operates on negative
peaks.
2.3 PROGRAM LEVEL MONITO RING
2.31 The movements of the percentage modulation indicator furnish an indication of instantaneous
level that is useful for monitoring. This meter does
not give a VU indication, because its ballistics must

as established by the FCC.
2.4 TRANSMITIER AUDIO-FREQUENCY
RESPONSE
2.41
By applying a voltage of variable audio fre-
quency to the audio-frequency input circuits of the
transmitter, and reading the db scale on the percentage modulation meter for each frequency setting,
the overall a-f response of the transmitter can be
determined.
SECTION 3.0
CIRCUIT DETAILS
3.1 The input circuit to the monitor consists of
a low-impedance coupling coil L-4 coupled to a
tuned circuit consisting of L-3 and C-1. The resistors R-1 and R -2 load this circuit sufficiently to
eliminate sideband clipping over the operating range
of the monitor.
ured. A highly stable degenerative d-e amplifier follows the diode and includes the d-e indicating meter.
The meter has a high-speed response characteristic
to meet FCC specifications for this type of monitor.
3.5 For the warning-lamp circuit, the a-c component is applied directly to the grid of an amplifier
tube. Any given percentage of the negative d-e
component is chosen by the setting of a potentiometer, which is calibrated 0-100% modulation.
Whenever the a-c component exceeds the negative
d-e component, the amplifier tube operates to trigger a thyratron tube. A warning lamp connected in
the anode circuit flashes, ·i ndicating the presence of a
modulation peak in excess of the dial setting.
3.2 The voltage developed across the tuned circuit is then applied to the double diode V-1. One of
the diodes feeds the monitoring circuit, the other
provides an essentially distortionless reproduction of
the r-f envelope for distortion measurements.
3.3 The modulation meter diode is followed by
an r-f filter consisting mainly of the choke L-5
which removes all the r-f components, leaving only
a negative d-e component which is proportional to
the average carrier level and an a-c component
!which is proportional to the varying envelope of the
original modulated carrier. Relative carrier level is
indicated by a d-e meter in series with the diode
rectifier.
3.6 The other section of the double diode V -1 IS
used to supply a distortionless envelope output for
distortion measurements with the Type 1932-A Distortion and Noise Meter. The diode is followed by
an r-f filter and a voltage divider which is ganged
with the MODULATION PEAKS control. This
output is available at the multipoint connector at
the rear of the instrument and is indicated on the
elementary schematic diagram as ENVELOPE
OUTPUT.
3.4 For the indicating meter circuit, the a-c component is linearly amplified and applied to a peak
response half-wave diode voltmeter. The diode can
be reversed in polarity by means of a panel switch
so that either positive or negative peaks can be meas-

upon other circuits in the monitor. The internal impedance is approximately 600 ohms. This output is
available at the rear for permanent cable connection.~
and also at Western Electric panel jacks. Plugging
into the panel jacks automatically disconnects the
plug at the rear.
3.7 The use of separate diodes for modulation
measurements and distortion measurements isolates
the two instruments electrically and prevents any
inter-action between them which might otherwise
affect the accuracy of measurement. A high-fidelity
audio output operating from the same diode that is
used for distortion measurements is also provided
for audio-frequency monitoring purposes. The output of this amplifier is independent of all panel controls, and can be loaded without causing any reaction
3.8 All indicating meters are of the Weston,
Model 891, illuminated type. Connections at the
rear of the instrument provide for connecting a remote percentage modulation meter, if desired.
