    This document outlines an experiment to measure wavelength, phase velocity, and standing wave ratio using a microwave setup with three different transmission line terminations: a shorting plate, terminator, and open end. Students will connect equipment including a power supply, Gunn oscillator, slotted line, and oscilloscope. They will record probe positions of minimum and maximum voltage readings and calculate wavelength, velocity, and standing wave ratio for each termination. The conclusions will discuss standing wave formation, measurement errors, reflection causes, transmission line characteristics impedance, and an overall analysis.

    Wavelength & Standing wave Measurements

    Objectives:

    Measuring the wave length, phase velocity and SWR with three different endings:
    Shorting Plate – Terminator – Open End.

    Equipment:
    - Power supply - Shorting plate

    Experimental Work
    Draw the Block Diagram for all connections bellow

    • Set up the equipment as shown in the block diagram you have drawn above.
    • Terminate the slotted line with the given loads i.e “Short circuited”, “Open
    circuited” and “matched Load”.
    • Move the slider (probe of slotted line) along the slotted line. Record the probe
    positions (locate the position of Vmin and Vmax).
    • Continue moving the slider to obtain a second Vmin and Vmax and record the
    probe positions again.
    • Obtain the distance between the two measures (Vmin2-Vmin1) and determine λg
    VSWR, and ν
