Wes -

I got it. I read it. It did not occur to me that I must short the load to
get the phase reference (although it should have). The paper clarifies lots
of things for me.

I don't have a line stretcher (I though this was a joke when it was
mentioned on this forum). However, it appears I can do without it if I
recalibrate the phase offset for each change in frequency. I will probably
be mostly interested in single-frequency measurements anyway.

After you mentioned it, I searched the Web for this app note and was
unsuccessful. Thanks ever so much for making it available to me.

No problem, glad you can use it. I have used the technique shown in
figure 11. I happen to have all of that stuff. It is really just a
resistance bridge and could be duplicated for a lot less money. I
have also developed a simple-minded Excel sheet to do the math for the
bridge method. If you're interested,

I got it, Wes. Thanks. I'll play with it sometime tonight, I hope.

Yikes!

Oh my! I figured any jokes I make would be obvious. I used it lately for
setting up a switched antenna TDOA DF system. Really nice tool for such
things.

Well... it sounds funny. Maybe it's the way you put it.
