Abstract :
A new technique for parameters measurement of microwave loads is presented in the paper. The method based on combined multi-port reflectometer with subsequent down conversion of measuring frequency inherent to vector voltmeter. The basic measuring equations of the new meter are obtained. The advantages of the proposed meter are discussed and the results of computer simulation of measuring process confirming the theoretical conclusions are given.
