Integrated Power and Impedance Meter
- Summary
- Researchers at Purdue University have developed a device that utilizes the broadband capabilities of a scalar power meter, the phase information of a reflectometer, and compatibility with couplers within the range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz. The measurement of phase information is capable of producing complex impedances of the input signal. This information is then communicated to the user through both an onboard display and web-hosted server, which can be viewed via internet browser.
