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 ...

Minimizing reflections and signal losses in test systems associated with the design, manufacture, and production of RF products can be a complex challenge. In addition to issues such as cable and ...

A transmission line is has a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms and a terminating resistance of 100 ohms. What is the reflection coefficient? What is the voltage standing waveform ratio?

Building a successful microwave test system requires the use of many different components to control signal flow, signal level, and signal integrity. The design engineer must consider the impact of ...
