Abstract :
An apparatus is described that measures deviations from reciprocity in the propagation of electromagnetic waves traveling through a medium. The medium under test was plasma. The apparatus was built for 3-cm waves. The minimum detectable phase difference between the two directions was ~ 2 X 10-3 degree.
