Abstract :
A method is suggested to compensate for the cable attenuation effect on reflection coefficient measurements in the case of multiple small discontinuities distributed along the feedline of an antenna. The method combines techniques used in laboratory network analysers to extract a particular discontinuity (Fourier transform, time-domain gating) with a broadband cable attenuation model
