Abstract
This paper presents a new structure for a six-port reflectometer which due to its simplicity can be implemented very easily in monolithic mi crowave integrated-circuit (MMIC) technology. It uses nonmatched diode detectors with a high input impedance which are placed around a phase shifter in conjunction with a power divider for the reference detecto r. The circuit has been fabricated using the F20 GaAs process of the G EC-Marconi foundry and operates between 1.3 GHz and 3.0 GHz.
