Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed configured for receiving a first alternating signal and for transmitting a second alternating signal. A detector is configured to receive a third alternating signal which is a reflection of at least a portion in power of the second alternating signal. The detector is further configured to convert the third alternating signal into a rectified signal and measure the power of said rectified signal. The measured power of the rectified signal is indicative of a power of the reflected third signal.
