1. INTRODUCTION
The WILTRON 54000-6WR10 and -6WR15 are
compact, int egrated, waveguide reflectometers
with an output frequency range of 75 to 110 GHz
and 50 to 75 GHz , respectively.
These modules combine source multiplication, reference sampling, and reflection measurement in a
single compact package. When used with WILTRON scalar network analyzer sys tems, they provide complete ratioed or unratioed reflection measurements from 75 t o 110 GHz or 50 to 75 GHz.
During the remainder of this manual, the 540006WR10 and -6WR15 will be referred to as Reflectometer.
The WILTRON 54000-7WR10 and -7WR15 are 75
to 110 GHz and 50 to 75 GHz detectors with integrated isolators. When used with WILTRON scalar network analyzers, t hey perform transmission
measurements. Fo r ratioed transmission measurements, either a second detector or a Reflectometer
with an int ernal reference detector is required.
2. DESCRIPTION
Internal to the Reflectometers, the RF input (Figure 2) passes through an isolator and is then doubled. The doubled signal is then amplified, passed
through a t uner and a low-pass filter and multiplied again (X2 for -6WR15 and X3 for -6WR10).
At this point the 75 to 110 GHz or 50 to 75 GHz
signal is passed through externally mounted, userselectable filters and then back into the unit. The
signal then passes through an output isolator and
dual-directional coupler to the Test Port. D etectors
on the coupler’s coupled arms provide the reference and reflection outputs.
The 54000-7WRXX Detectors are applied to the
DUT output, where the signal passes through the
detector’s isolator to the detector element.
3. POWER CONNECTION
The Reflectomet er requires DC power of +15V
±0.5V at 550 mA. The connector on the unit is a female BNC “twinax” with +15V on the female cen-
ter pin. A WILTRON P/N A36599 power cable is included to connect directly to below-listed WILTRON instruments that provide rear panel auxiliary +15V power.

An adapter (female twinax to dual banana plug),
Wiltron P/N SM4816, is available on Special order.
This adapter, in conjunction with cable A36599,
will allow connection to any power supply that has
banana terminals on 0.75-inch (19 mm) centers.
The 54000-7WRXX Detector does not require e xternal power connection.
4. OPERATION AS A mm WAVE SOURCE
The following procedure describes how to operate
the mm Wave Reflectometer as a st and alone
source.
Step 1. Connect DC power to the Reflectometer
POWER INPUT connector as described
in paragraph 3 above. (See Figure 3.)
Step 2. Connect an RF source to the Reflectome-
ter RF INPUT connector.
The level should be +7 dBm ±1 dB at
the input co nnec tor.
Source freque ncy is 12.5–18.75 GHz for
WR15 modules and 12.5–18.333 GHz for
WR10 modules.
Step 3. The mm wave signal is available at the
TEST PORT.
Step 4. If leveling is desired, and t he source is
capable of external leveling, connect the
Reflectometer REFERENCE DETECTOR
OUTPUT to the appropriat e connector
on the source. Refer to the Operation
Manual for the source.
5. OP ER ATION IN S CA L AR m m WAVE
MEASUREMENTS
The following procedure describes how to operate
the mm wave Reflectometer in a scalar measurement syst em.
Step 1. Connect DC power to the Reflectometer
POWER INPUT connector as described
in paragraph 3 above.
Step 2. Connect an RF source, 12.5–18.33 GHz
to the Reflectometer RF INPUT connec-
tor.
The level should be +7 dBm ±1 dB at
the input co nnec tor.
Source freque ncy is 12.5–18.75 GHz for
WR15 modules and 12.5–18.333 GHz for
WR10 modules.
Step 3. If leveling is desired, and t he source is
capable of external leveling, connect the
Reflectometer REFERENCE DETECTOR
OUTPUT to the appropriat e connector
on the source. Refer to the Operation
Manual for the source.
Step 4. If ratioed Transmission measurements
are desired, and the Scalar Network

NOTE
Leveling and ratioed measurements cannot be done simultane ously.
Step 5. Connect the Reflectometer REFLEC-

Step 6. Connect a WILTRON 54000-7WR10 or -
7WR15 detector to the TEST PORT and
the Analyzer Channel A input as appropriate. Perfo rm a Transmission/Reflection Calibration on the Analyzer. Refer
to the Operation Manual for the Analyzer.
Step 7. Remove the detector from the Test Port
and insert the device to be tested.
