DIY 2.4 Ghz impedance equipment site help

Hi all,
I saw a site where a fellow designed a unit to measure impedance at 2.4
ghz,
for use on wifi antennas. I don't recall if it was return loss or impedance.
It gave detailed instructions on how to build and also had ready built units
for sale.
I think it was a ham that designed the unit. I also think he was not in the
states,
possibly a P or PY call sign, but the memory is not good!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
