Talk:Slotted line

Stuff I wrote (but never used) last time we discussed this topic
Watching File:Falowod linia pomiarowa.jpg‎ alerted me to the fact you are now tackling this subject. Here is a lede I wrote last time we discussed this:

In microwave engineering a slotted line or slotted waveguide is an instrument used to directly observe the standing wave on the transmission line or waveguide feeding a microwave device (such as a transmitting antenna). From a measurement of the magnitude and position of the standing wave's peaks and troughs, it is possible to infer the reflection coefficient and hence the complex input impedance of the device under test. The slotted line can also be used to measure the wavelength of the signal on the line, and hence to determine its frequency. In industry, slotted lines have largely been replaced by vector network analyzers, which although far more costly, are also far less laborious to use. Slotted lines are still used for educational purposes, and it is still common to state the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) due to an impedance.

Since the page is still in your user-space, I have refrained from inserting this material myself - please use or ignore it as you see fit. Here are some references I collected - presumably some of these support the assertions in the above text.
