Abstract :
Several microwave circuits using HSSSASL (hybrids, a directional couple, reactive power dividers, monopulse networks) have been successfully measured and optimized using this method. It is especially useful in the empirical optimization of multiport microwave circuits where many iterations are necessary.<>
