I forgot to include the WWW link for Wide Band Engineering's
application note on using return loss bridges and sweep generators:

>Wide Band Engineering, Eagle and Trilithic make return loss bridges
>or 'rhotectors'. Wide Band Engineering has a nice pictorial of the
>setup one would use with their bridge. Wilton (now Anritsu/Wiltron)
>used to have a lot of application notes on using what they called
>SWR autotestors, basically the same thing. I remember a lot of
>concern over the phase of reflections affecting the accuracy with a
>magnitude only detector like a diode. Used to use tricks like doing
>a short and open cal, and averaging the results for the infinite
>VSWR condition....
