Abstract
A method is described to determine the complex equivalent reflection coeffi cient of RF sources using a mismatched power meter connected to a set of di fferent phase shifting two-ports, The method is efficient as only simple in strumentation is necessary and furthermore, it is broadband, usable for all types of sources and directly traceable to impedance standards.
