swr analyser

A 5 element beam for 10 meter band - Here is a very simple 5 element covering the entire 10 meter band (28.000-29.700) with a swr of less than 1.4 at the band edges

2m VHF antennas with high gain - 2m SSB/CW-12.5 Ohm Yagis with extrem high gain and small bandwidth. These Yagis were constructed as ultra-light, portable Yagis with extrem high gain. They have small bandwidth and are working from 144,0-144,8MHz with good SWR.

440 Mhz J-Pole Antenna plans - Here is a 70cm (440 Mhz) J-Pole antenna that is inexpensive, and easy to build. Author use 1/2 inch copper pipe, and the associated fittings necessary. The dimensions aren’t typical however, this is what it took to get its SWR low.

80/75 Meter 4-Square Array - This array has been in use since 1989. The SWR from 3.5 to 3.9 is below 1.5:1. The F/R of the array is 20dB average and with some signals even better.

Transmitting Baluns - One of the most popular Ham-lore rumors is a balun's performance can be tested or evaluated by grabbing the coax and watching for an SWR change. This is probably one of the worse test-rumors circulating

WB6ZQZ 3 in 1 Balun - Builing a triple ration balun, that match resonant antennas from 9 ohms to 75 ohms with 1.5:1 or less SWR

Effects of VSWR on Transmitted Power - By James G. Lee, W6VAT

Transmitting Line Condition vs. SWR Table - One another useful Table for the HAM's practice.

Antenna Cable Loss and SWR - Calculate Cable Loss from SWR and reverse. Text file with only two simply formulas

Actual Antenna SWR - Easy for calculate formula which could be a wake-up call for you. The SWR value at the input of antenna cable is not a actual SWR of your favorite antenna.

Better Feedline Loss Measurements with Antenna Analyzers - Various publications through the years have shown how the SWR measured on a shorted (or open) feed line can be used to calculate feed line attenuation

Transmission Lines - About feed lines, parallel lines and coaxial lines, notes on impedance, SWR, Baluns, velocity factor and more by NZART

G5RV antenna - Review by G3TXQ and comparison to its modificated versions. SWR Measurements on inverted V setup and comparison from EZNEC model and a real one.

Antenna Impedance measurement - When experimenting on an antenna it's often important to determine its feedpoint impedance at various frequencies across the operating band. It's easy enough to measure SWR, but sometimes we need to know more detail than this

Speedometers SWR Meters and Smith Charts - Have wondered why a Smith chart has such strange grid lines. Believe it or not, there is a logical progression from Speedometers to Smith charts that will make the Smith grid crystal clear.

A screwdriver antenna in a fixed install Priority listing - Tired of tuners and wires? Put up a screwdriver antenna in a fixed install for multiband operation (80m to 10m) with low SWR. No tuner is needed!

Rob's UK CB Radio information site - Rob’s uk cb radio information website, here you will find information on cb radio, swr, Morse code, frequency charts, 10 codes, q codes, z codes, cb chat room, cb radio forum plus lots more.

Coax Cable loss and SWR calculator - This small window application will calculate Coax Cable loss from SWR and SWR from Cable Loss

Meter Mate - SWR Graph Software - Meter Mate is a companion utility for your directional watt meter that allows you to calculate the SWR reading when the forward and reflected power readings are measured. In addition to calculating the antenna system SWR Meter Mate will also plot the SWR curves of all of your antennas onto graphs that may be printed out.

TLDetails - Transmission Line Details. This utility program shows the impedance and SWR at both ends of a transmission line and the details of power loss in the line. It includes characteristics for over 40 built-in line types. You can modify these values to see how small changes affect the results or to specify custom lines. All program inputs may be changed directly or you can use spin buttons to make the changes. If you are using a moderately fast computer you can hold down a spinner and "watch the movie" on the charts as the results are recomputed. By AC6LA

Soundcard Audio Tools and Toys - Soundcard audio tools and toys, experimental ideas and utilities. Signal Generator, Frequency-counter / instrument-tuner, Real-time Spectrum Analyser

Idiot's guide to coaxial cable  ^pop - A very beginner's guide to coax cables. Characteristics, detailed comparison of typical coaxial cables, commonly used connectors, and a few words about SWR.

Digital QRP SWR & Power meter - A KD1JV Melt solder kit, a swr and power meter operating from 160 to 6 meters ideal for portable and field use

SWR vs. Loss - Table of power loss to SWR relation
