The following two step procedure has been carried out with a 50 coaxial
slotted line to determine an unknown load impedance:
A short circuit is placed at the load plane, resulting in a standing wave on the line with infinite
SWR, and sharply defined voltage minima recorded at z=0.2 cm, 2.2cm, 4.2cm
The short circuit is removed, and replaced with the unknown load. The SWR is measured as 1.5,
and voltage minima are recorded at z=0.72cm, 2.72cm, 4.72cm.
