  • Abstract
    The authors comments on the work of Hoffman and Skvor "A Novel Vector Network Analyzer”(1998). It was demonstrated in this paper that only five independent parameters are needed to fully map the complex reflection coefficient of an unknown sample to amplitude-only reflection measurement instead of six parameters as concluded in the above paper.
