Abstract :
A novel family of six-port reflectometers, designed in hybrid stripline-waveguide technology, is proposed for high power applications. In principle, there is no limitation in the input power level and the design can be adapted for any waveguide frequency band. A prototype was designed for the operational frequency of 2.45 GHz and measurements were made at power level up to 200 W.<>
