  • Abstract
    The high accuracy now being claimed for precision reflectometers, calibrated with air-dielectric line standards, lead to a significant difference between reflection coefficients normalised to a nominal real characteristic impedance and the complex characteristic impedance of these standards. Examples are given of the spirals obtained with variable-length lines at 300 MHz.
