- Measure a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) to Quantify Transmission Line Imperfections
- SWR is the ratio between transmitted and reflected waves. A high SWR indicates poor transmission-line efficiency and reflected energy. Since SWR commonly refers to the voltage ratio, it is usually known as voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).

- What is SWR - standing-wave ratio
- Article about Standing-wave ratio (SWR) defined as a mathematical expression of the non-uniformity of an electromagnetic field on a transmission line. SWR is the ratio of the maximum radio-frequency (RF) voltage to the minimum RF voltage along the line.

The SWR on a transmission line is mathematically related to (but not the same as) the ratio of reflected power to forward power
