Measurement of the absolute value of the complex impedance using scalar detectors

Hello friends,



Can somone give me some info about:



Measurement of the absolute value of the complex impedance using scalar detectors. I mean detectors which can measure magnitude/power/RMS but not phase of the sine wave.



Thank you! admin

Dear Glenn,

Thank you for the replay.

I know about six port reflectometer.

I was wondering is there simpler configuration which is able to provide me with the magnitude of the complex impedance of the DUT directly. I was tring to derive it using 2 scalar detectors but without success. Probably can be done with 3 detectors?

The six port reflectometer uses 4 scalar detectors and we got the complex impedance as a result(active and reactive parts)

Thank you in advance! Admin
