Abstract :
The broad-band (2-18 GHz) optimum steps of a commercial sliding load have been determined by simulation on a digital computer. The influence of the load, which is slided, is taken into account. The results have been tested through a sliding short and by measuring a very good fixed load. An equivalent directivity greater than 59 dB has been obtained.
