All,

What is the best way to base impedance measurements, by voltage and current
phase or by forward and reflected power?

First I assume both methods provide the data to measure impedance.

It would seem that both suffer from the real effects of the taking the
measurement. Measuring voltage suffers from the effects of the reflected signal,
I would assume current does as well. Couplers have a built in cross talk parameter.

Thanks,

- Dan
