Introduction to VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is a critical parameter in RF (Radio Frequency) systems, indicating how effectively power is transferred from a source to a load. It measures the ratio of the maximum to the minimum voltage in a standing wave formed by reflected and transmitted signals.
If you are a newcomer in the RF industry, it must be difficult to distinguish VSWR and return loss. The following is a comparison table of VSWR and return loss.
SMA Connectors/Adapters and cable assembly, are widely used for testing. We have the stainless steel version and the copper with gold plating version.
