Description
The Andrew hybrid tee reflector is an extremely accurate test instrument designed to measure return loss or VSWR in waveguide systems. It incorporates a precision hybrid tee junction (magic tee) that separates the incident and reflected waves at the input of the system under test.

Directivity of the hybrid tee junction is the limiting factor for measurement accuracy. Across standard frequency bands, the Andrew hybrid tee provides the 60 dB minimum directivity required for precision, low-VSWR measurement work.

The reflectonmeter includes two output detectors, and requires the use of a signal generator for the RF source and an oscilloscope to display return loss or VSWR. Although the reflectometer is extremely accurate, overall accuracy of the test setup depends on the suitability and quality of all of the components.


The type number of the reflectometer indicates the frequency band and accessory options as follows:
