ULTRA-WIDEBAND IMPEDANCE TUNER

摘要

A mechanical impedance tuner has at least two probe carriages mounted for movement along an axis parallel to the center conductor. The at least two probe carriages including a first probe carriage and a second probe carriage. Each probe carriage has at least N probes where N is an integer equal to or greater than one, and at least one of the N probes is mechanically different or of different nominal geometry from the probes on at least one of the other carriages so that each such probe has an non-identical frequency response.
