Abstract

Some analytical relationships for phase distribution of the electromagnetic wave in an unmatched transmission line with loss are derived. The presence of loss results in distortion of phase distribution, manifesting itself in changing extremum values and their coordinates. The cases of the single-probe and two-probe analysis of phase distribution are considered. The author estimates the error of the suggested method of phasemetric measurement of the module and argument of the complex reflection factor when the error is caused by the loss in the transmission line for both cases.
