Reflection coefficient curves of compensated discontinuities on coaxial lines and the determination of the optimum dimensions

Discontinuities on coaxial lines are caused either by irregular cross-section or variation o. dielectric constant. Equivalent circuits of different types of discontinuity are given. The node-shift technique employing an adjustable short circuit for determining the reflection coefficient is descrioei Test results are discussed at length and a series of curves for various configurations given.
