2. Standing wave ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave_ratio

   SWR is used as a measure of impedance matching of a load to the characteristic impedance of a transmission line carrying radio frequency (RF) signals. This especially applies to transmission lines connecting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas, as well as similar uses of RF cables such as cable television connections to TV receivers and distribution amplifiers.

3. SWR meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWR_meter

   An SWR meter for CB radio equipment. A standing wave ratio meter, SWR meter, ISWR meter (current "I" SWR), or VSWR meter (voltage SWR) measures the standing wave ratio (SWR) in a transmission line. [a] The meter indirectly measures the degree of mismatch between a transmission line and its load (usually an antenna).

4. Citizens band radio - Wikipedia

   After the 1973 oil crisis, the U.S. government imposed a nationwide 55 mph speed limit, and fuel shortages and rationing were widespread.Drivers (especially commercial truckers) used CB radios to locate service stations with better supplies of fuel, to notify other drivers of speed traps, and to organize blockades and convoys in a 1974 strike protesting the new speed limit and other trucking ...

   The antenna may not be more than 20 feet (6.1 m) above the highest point of the structure it is mounted to, or the highest point of the antenna must not be more than 60 feet (18.3 m) above the ground (47 CFR 95.408(c)) if installed in a fixed location. [4] CB radios must include AM or SSB modulation and may include frequency modulation. [5]

6. Antenna analyzer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_analyzer

   An antenna analyzer measuring SWR and complex impedance of a dummy load. MFJ-269, MFJ Enterprises Inc. An antenna analyzer or in British aerial analyser (also known as a noise bridge, RX bridge, SWR analyzer, or RF analyzer) is a device used for measuring the input impedance of antenna systems in radio electronics applications.

7. Antenna measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_measurement

   Antenna directivity is the ratio of maximum radiation intensity (power per unit surface) radiated by the antenna in the maximum direction divided by the intensity radiated by a hypothetical isotropic antenna radiating the same total power as that antenna. For example, a hypothetical antenna which had a radiated pattern of a hemisphere (1/2 ...
