The development and evaluation of three dual six-port reflectometer systems, that use WR-42, WR-28 and WR-22 waveguide, is discussed; these cover the frequency range 18-50 GHz. automated operation and will provide complex scattering parameter data for customer waveguide components, as well as effective efficiency data for power sensors. Some representative measurement data are presented that demonstrate that these systems yield results that do not differ significantly from those obtained using older measurement systems. Some discussion of measurement uncertainties is also included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
