Abstract :
This paper describes a theoretical and practical investigation of the effect of the losses in a sliding short and associated line, using the G-reflectometer measuring technique for the determination of small losses. The evaluation of the modified measuring method is based on Engen´s method for the description of microwave systems. Practical examples are included.
