Abstract

Abstract A process for the wideband measurement of the impedance of microwave current circuits in microwave multiple pole arrangements, i.e., N ports. Into at least one cavity resonator comprised by the N port to be measured a signal is introduced which is so reflected by adjustable reference planes that, in the event of resonance, the signal reflected via the N-port to be measured from the corresponding reference planes is compared with signals introduced into the individual cavity resonators. In the cavity resonators the geometrical spacings (electrical lengths) existing between any desired reference planes are transmitted in the form of electrical signal differences to the indicator apparatus of a synchro receiver system. By means of the tuning elements of the cavity resonators, which are moved in synchronism with the wobbulators energizing the cavity resonators, there is a flow through the corresponding frequency band such that the signals reflected by the reference planes of the cavity resonators are transformed with the aid of the systems assembled therewith (microwave, low frequency, electromechanical systems). The impedances to be measured are continuously indicated in dependency on the frequency.
