Abstract

Idealistically, a slotted line should be designed so that, when it is terminated in its characteristic impedance, the VSWR as determined by a movable probe in the slotted line will be 1.0. However, in practice this is not possible, particularly in the case of coaxial slotted lines where matching elements, adapters and connectors are utilized. The devices mentioned above have physical discontinuities which give rise to reflections, which cause a standing wave to be produced even though the line is terminated I its characteristic impedance.
