Abstract
A new design approach for low-cost multiprobe reflectometers is presented. While traditional circuits adopt equally-spaced probes, the presented solution provide a method to greatly enhance the bandwidth of the measuring system by a proper choice of each probe position. As example, a five-probe 0.6-16 GHz system has been designed.
