Abstract: Impedance mismatches in a radio-frequency (RF) electrical transmission line cause power loss and reflected energy. Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is a way to measure transmission line ...

Maximum transmission efficiency occurs when the load impedance matches the generator impedance. Engineers do this to eliminate standing waves, which can severely damage equipment. Transmission lines ...

One of the issues that beginning electronic engineers must grasp is the concept of impedance and impedance matching, epically with respect to transmission lines, cables, and connectors. This FAQ ...
