چکیده
The paper reviews the development of the six-port measurement technique since the time it was introduced in 1977 until present days. Working principles of six-port reflectometer and six-port network analyzer are explained. The technique is put in context with other scattering parameter measurement principles; the advantages and drawbacks are discussed. Some typical SPR implementations are presented. Basic six-port calibration methods are outlined; general significance of TRL method is accented. Accomplishments achieved in the Department of Radio and Electronics of FEEIT STU Bratislava are presented. Current standing of the technique is assessed.

متن کاملDesign and Implementation of an Ultra- Wideband Six-port Network
This paper presents a six-port network over an ultrawideband (UWB) of 2–8GHz. Its key component is the six-port junction, which consists of a Wilkinson power divider and three 3-dB quadrature couplers. This six-port junction is accomplished in a low dielectric constant substrate (Rogers RT/duroid 5880). Multi-section impedance transformation is applied in the power divider, and the quadrature c...
