What Does VSWR Stand For?
VSWR stands for Visual Standing Wave Ratio
VSWR, or Visual Standing Wave Ratio, is a measurement used in radio frequency engineering to assess the efficiency of power transfer from a transmission line to a load, typically an antenna. It represents the ratio of the amplitude of standing waves in the line, which occur due to reflections caused by impedance mismatches. A lower VSWR indicates better matching and efficient signal transmission, while a higher ratio suggests potential issues that can lead to power loss and reduced system performance.
