Abstract :
The basic techniques of microwave power measurement are discussed, together with principles of self-balancing bridges for that application. A method of measuring the power change by means of a nonlinear "slave" bridge is presented. Temperature compensation problems are discussed as applied to the meter under consideration. The complete power meter is considered along with operating procedure.
