Cet appareil est une réalisation dans le domaine des ondes UHF [Ultra-High Frequency]. La porteuse est une onde décimétrique(3 000 MHz) se propageant selon la visibilité optique; en pratique, les mesures sont possibles un peu au-delà de celle-ci. La mesure de phase s’effectue sur une modulation à 10 MHz, pilotée par un quartz en chaque terminal. La différence de phase est matérialisée comme angle de phase d’un spot sur un écran de tube cathodique à balayage circulaire. 2, record 2, French, - tellurom%C3%A8tre
