Abstract—In this paper a general investigation on the
uncertainty of reflection coefficient measurements with the use
of six-port reflectometer is presented. A wide range of both
power measurement uncertainty and limited dynamics of the
power meters utilized in the six-port systems are incorporated.
Based on the conducted analysis the optimum parameters of
six-port reflectometer are derived, which provide the lowest
possible measurement uncertainty distribution for all
reflection coefficients of passive devices.
Index Terms—Multiport measurement technique, six-port
reflectometer, reflection coefficient, measurement uncertainty,
power meters, dynamics of power range.
