Voltage standing wave ratio

By Doug

A standing wave may be formed when a wave is transmitted into one end of a transmission line and is reflected from the other end by an impedance mismatch. The Voltage standing wave ratio is the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage in a standing wave pattern. It may be stated as a ratio (VSWR) or in dB (return loss)....
