  • Abstract
    A lens-focussed microwave reflectometer that offers exceptional sensitivity and very wide bandwidth is described. The system produces a well-confined spot focus and, with the prescribed calibration procedure, gives effective directivity approaching 70 dB. Precision of +or-1 dB is demonstrated for measurements in X-band at the -50 dB level.<>
