Yes, really.  You measure the forward power, then turn the element around 
and measure the
reflected power.  Then use 10 log (FP/RP) and you have the return loss in 
dB.

Oh really???!??!?

The Eagle return loss bridges are a good value for the buck.
www.eagle-1st.com.  They have a whitepaper on tuning duplexers too.

I believe IFR (now Aeroflex) sells (or at least sold) the Eagle RLB's.
