Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is a measurement of the impedance match of any RF component, subassembly, instrument in reference to a standard 50-Ohm resistive impedance. It is generally expressed ...

Impedance mismatches in a radio-frequency (RF) electrical transmission line cause power loss and reflected energy. Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is a way to measure transmission line ...

Abstract: In this paper a method of measuring VSWR is introduced and discussed. In this method, first, the power of incident wave and reflected wave is measured separately with relevant directional ...

Abstract: The analysis of measuring device's properties of complex VSWR on the basis of a double T-junction is offered. The theoretical equations for determination of parameters of the studied device ...

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX2016, aimed at measuring VSWR, gain, and power up to 2.5GHz. The SiGe chip can be configured as a simple RF-power detector and comparator, or as a ...

Understanding the role and implications of impedance in RF transmission lines and antennas is vital to successful system performance. The previous sections looked at the basics of impedance and VSWR.

Co-sponsored by Analog Devices and Richardson RFPD. This webcast will provide a step-by-step approach to designing RF power and return loss measurement systems. The webcast will focus on a number of ...

The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instruction on measuring the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of a passive RF component. The VSWR can be used to judge the quality of ...

If you have ever operated any sort of transmitting equipment, you’ve probably heard about matching an antenna to the transmitter and using the right co-ax cable. Having everything match — for example, ...
