  2. Return loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_loss

    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. A high return loss is desirable and results in a lower insertion loss. From a certain perspective 'Return Loss' is a misnomer. The usual function of a transmission line is to convey ...

  3. Standing wave ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave_ratio

    Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) (pronounced "vizwar" [1] [2]) is the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage on a transmission line . For example, a VSWR of 1.2 means a peak voltage 1.2 times the minimum voltage along that line, if the line is at least one half wavelength long.

  4. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) at a port, represented by the lower case 's', is a similar measure of port match to return loss but is a scalar linear quantity, the ratio of the standing wave maximum voltage to the standing wave minimum voltage.

    Each type describes how an annuity generates a return. Fixed: A fixed annuity guarantees you a minimum rate of return on your investment and will pay out over a fixed term.

  6. How to calculate the present and future value of annuities - AOL

    Therefore, the future value of your annuity due with $1,000 annual payments at a 5 percent interest rate for five years would be about $5,801.91.

    Together, these annual fees can reach 2 to 4 percent of the annuity contract value. For context, financial advisors usually charge a 1 percent annual fee to manage a client’s investment portfolio.

  8. Power dividers and directional couplers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_dividers_and...

    The insertion loss is not such a problem for an unequal split of power: for instance -40 dB at port 3 has an insertion loss less than 0.2 dB at port 2. Isolation can be improved at the expense of insertion loss at both output ports by replacing the output resistors with T pads. The isolation improvement is greater than the insertion loss added ...

    Each annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company: You provide the company money now, and they promise to pay you a steady income later, potentially for the rest of your life.
