52 E4416A/E4417A Power Meters Service Guide
This cannot be directly solved for because it is a complex quantity. In
order to solve for additional values of load reflection coefficient are
required with a phase difference of approximately 120
o
. However an
approximate solution using two values of can give adequately accurate
results provided the phase angle of the source is within ±40
o
of 0
o
or ±180
o
.
Equipment
