Abstract

Synopsis. Formulas are given for the minimum and maximum possible voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) of an inaccessible load fed by an imperfect transmission line. The formulas involve measurements at the accessible input terminals of the transmission line. Required data are the VSWR existing when the line is terminated by a known, perfectly matched load and the VSWR measured when the line is terminated by the unknown load.
