Improvement of the accuracy of reflection factor measurements by a computer
Abstract
Reflection factor measurement at microwave frequencies using long high-precision lines is described. For controlling and evaluation, the aid of a computer is necessary. The design features of the long lines are discussed. The attainable accuracy is shown by measurement results. Hints for further applications, e.g., the measurement of the source matching of a generator, are given.
