Abstract :
A seven-port wave-correlator based vector network analyzer (VNA) is proposed. The seven-port wave-correlator is a combination of two six-port wave-correlators. The complex wave ratio measurement accuracy, however, is improved since the input signals are directly detected by the side-arm ports. The performance of the developed seven-port wave-correlator and the constructed network analyzer are evaluated, and the measurement accuracy is confirmed
