Voltage

Formulas

VSWR

RL(dB) = 20×log₁₀((VSWR-1)/(VSWR+1))

VSWR

Example: VSWR=3.0 → RL = 20×log₁₀(2/4) = -6.02 dB

VSWR

VSWR = (1+10^(-RL/20))/(1-10^(-RL/20))

CalculateVSWR

Example: RL=-6dB → VSWR = 3.0

VSWR Coefficient

Γ = (VSWR-1)/(VSWR+1)

Coefficient

Example: VSWR=3 → Γ = 0.5

CoefficientVSWR

VSWR = (1+|Γ|)/(1-|Γ|)

CoefficientVSWR

Example: Γ=0.5 → VSWR = 3
