  • Abstract
    A six-port reflectometer circuit that is particularly suited to dielectric-type waveguides is described. Its scattering matrix is derived, allowing for flexibility in design. A phase-shifting network is incorporated in the circuit, and it is shown that a quadrature hybrid can be configured for this purpose. The reflectometer was implemented in a dielectric waveguide for W-band (75 GHz-110 GHz) operation, and measurements are presented
