Abstract :
Expensive microwave test equipment poses an obstacle to the introduction of modern microwave laboratory courses into electrical engineering curricula. An economical solution to this problem using a personal computer system and a novel switching network is discussed. The design and implementation of this scalar analyzer are discussed
