Figure 11 shows a block diagram of the AT-130.

Direcltional Coupler

The directional coupler samples forward and reflected power from the transceiver to the load.

Meter Circuit

The forward and reflected power sampled by the directional coupler is used for SWR measure- ment. Forward power is calibrated with the CAL control so reflected power is read as SWR.

Band Selector Switch

This selects the band to which the matching circuit is tuned. In the "THROUGH" position, Idthe antenna is connected directly to the trans-

-ceiver, bypassing the coupler, while still allowing SWR measurement.

Antenna Coupler

The universal matching circuit is capable of matching 20 to 300n loads to the 50a input impedance.
