Abstract :
This paper presents a new structure for a six-port reflectometer which due to its simplicity can be integrated very easily in MMIC technology. It uses non-matched diode detectors with a high input impedance that are placed around a phase shifter. The circuit has been fabricated by the foundry GEC-Marconi and operates between 1.4 and 2.5 GHz.
