  • Abstract
    A simple and rigorous method for measuring the equivalent source reflection coefficient of three-port devices is reported in this paper. It is shown that two-port scattering-parameter measurements of a three-port device, one of the output ports of which was alternately terminated with two different reflecting devices, give an accurate value of the equivalent source reflection coefficient.
