Abstract :
It has been shown that the locating reflectometer evaluates, in real time, the Fourier transform of a signal applied to it. If a swept signal transmitted through a microwave 2-port (i.e. the transfer function) is applied to the instrument, it will display the pulse response. Transient phenomena taking just a few cycles of an X band carrier may be displayed, yet only low-frequency electronic circuitry is needed.
