What Does VSWR Stand For?
VSWR stands for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio
VSWR, or Voltage Standing Wave Ratio, is a measure used in radio frequency (RF) engineering to quantify the efficiency of power transmission from a transmission line to a load, such as an antenna. It represents the ratio of the maximum voltage to the minimum voltage in a standing wave pattern along the line, indicating how well the load is matched to the transmission line. A lower VSWR value signifies better impedance matching, reducing signal loss and optimizing performance in RF applications.
