Measurement of the gate reflection factors of microwave circulators
Abstract
Inaccuracies in the measurement of input reflection factors are considered, taking into account an approach for calculating the correct value of the input reflection factor with the aid of an equation. The considered approach can be used for the accurate determination of the gate reflection factor of microwave circulators. The procedure involved is demonstrated for a Y-circulator by means of a signal flow diagram.
