ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for recording directly group delay measurement of a system under temperature and stress tests employing a modulated carrier frequency swept over an S or X-band of interest and applied through a reference path and a test path to separate detectors for group delay measurement using a power divider, e.g., a directional coupler or a hybrid-T junction. A phase comparator is initially balanced, and then the modulated carrier is swept in frequency over the band of interest for different conditions of temperature and/or mechanical stress to obtain a family of characteristic group-delay curves for the system under test.
