  2. Standing wave ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave_ratio

    The term power standing wave ratio (PSWR) is sometimes referred to, and defined as, the square of the voltage standing wave ratio. The term is widely cited as "misleading". [11] The expression "power standing-wave ratio", which may sometimes be encountered, is even more misleading, for the power distribution along a loss-free line is constant. ...

  3. Mismatch loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mismatch_loss

    Mismatch loss in transmission line theory is the amount of power expressed in decibels that will not be available on the output due to impedance mismatches and signal reflections. A transmission line that is properly terminated, that is, terminated with the same impedance as that of the characteristic impedance of the transmission line, will ...

  4. Return loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_loss

    where RL(dB) is the return loss in dB, P i is the incident power and P r is the reflected power. Return loss is related to both standing wave ratio (SWR) and reflection coefficient (Γ). Increasing return loss corresponds to lower SWR. Return loss is a measure of how well devices or lines are matched. A match is good if the return loss is high.

  5. SWR meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWR_meter

    RF power is applied to the circuit. The voltage at the line input represents the vector sum of the forward wave, and the wave reflected from the load. If we know the characteristic impedance of the line is 50 Ohms, we know the magnitude and phase of the forward wave. It's the same wave present on the other side of the detector.

  6. Reflection coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_coefficient

    In telecommunications and transmission line theory, the reflection coefficient is the ratio of the complex amplitude of the reflected wave to that of the incident wave. The voltage and current at any point along a transmission line can always be resolved into forward and reflected traveling waves given a specified reference impedance Z 0.

    The weather is getting colder, but the NFL playoff race is heating up. Here's the updated bracket, standings and clinching scenarios for Week 15.

  9. CFPB finalizes rule capping overdraft fees at $5 [Video] - AOL

    The new CFPB regulation would require large banks and credit unions to either charge just $5 for overdrafts or, alternatively, pick an amount no higher than the cost of offering overdraft protection.
