The Boonton 25A is a precision, solid-state instrument designed as a power meter calibrator. Its primary function is to provide accurate 1 MHz signal levels essential for the calibration of Boonton RF microwattmeters, specifically the Model 41 and 42 series. This calibrator is equipped to verify and adjust both full-scale and down-scale indications on these power meters. The instrument’s accuracy is traceable to the National Bureau of Standards, with specific outputs (0 dBm and -9 dBm) calibrated using thermal transfer techniques, and other ranges verified via precision attenuators.
