Abstract

The paper considers main sources of experimental errors arising at measurement of the complex reflection factor in a waveguide by the multiresonance method. Several techniques are suggested for compensation of generator’s instability and of non-identity of directed couplers. Also, a new method is proposed for determination of resonant frequencies and width of peaks of the waveguide quasiresonator.
