An Analysis of a System for the Determination of Microwave Reflection Coefficients

Abstract

A system for determining microwave reflection coefficients by multiple reflections is described and theory presented. This theory yields an expression giving electric field intensity, E, as a function of distance, x, and reflection coefficient, r. In order to attain the desired agreement between data and theory, attenuation and floor reflection had to be considered. Computation of the reflection coefficient of one material is given as an example of the application of this theory.
