Abstract :
Construction details are described and illustrated for fabrication of a sliding short for use in precision transmission lines. The reflection coefficient of the short when used in GR series 900 transmission line was 0.996. The short is positioned with a micrometer and return-spring arrangement. The connection between the sliding element and the transmission line is believed to be unique and yields very low losses.
