  • Abstract
    The output of an electron relay oscillator is passed thru a non-resonant, rectifying circuit. The rectified radio frequency is rich in upper harmonics. These are used to calibrate a wave meter after a limited range thereof has been calibrated by another and absolute method. Details of the requisite procedure are given.
