Title :
Precision Reflectivity Loss Measurements of Perforated-Plate Mesh Materials by a Waveguide Technique
Abstract :
A waveguide method is described for improving the precision and accuracy of reflectivity loss measurements of perforated-plate mesh materials. Overall accuracies of the order of ±0.005 dB can be achieved through the use of a dual-channel tuned reflectometer system and high-precision insertion loss test set.
