Abstract: 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 ...

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 are involved in any sort of radio transmission, you probably have at least heard of SWR or standing wave ratio. Most transmitters can measure it these days and most ham radio operators have ...

Knowing the directivity specification of your measurement device can go a long way in setting measurement expectations. Directional power measurements are important when determining transmitter output ...

What is an RF detector? An RF detector monitors or samples the output of an RF circuit and develops a dc output voltage proportional to the power at that point. What do you do with an RF detector? RF ...
