Standing Wave Ratio Formula Elements

Variables
Standing Wave Ratio (SWR)
Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) is a ratio of the maximum amplitude of voltage or current to the minimum amplitude along the transmission line.
Symbol: SWR
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 1.
Voltage Maxima
Voltage maxima, also known as voltage peaks or voltage crests, refer to the highest points or levels of voltage that occur in a transmission line or an antenna system.
Symbol: Vmax
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Voltage Minima
Voltage minima typically occur at points where there is a mismatch between the characteristic impedance of the transmission line and the impedance of the connected load.
Symbol: Vmin
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
