Abstract :
A fast automatic measurement method of Rieke diagram that shows the output character of a microwave tube is put forward in this paper. One advanced principle and idea was presented to scan the impedance of Smith chart within VSWR=5. During the scanning course, data are sampled by one set of frequency and power gates, and all used to plot Rieke diagram. So this measurement system has fast speed to plot one piece of Rieke diagram in not more than 8 minutes
