Reflection Coefficient And Vswr - Radiodetection 1205CXB Operation Manual

Reflection Coefficient and VSWR

Users sometimes use alternative measures to show the severity of a fault, including Reflection
Coefficient and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). There are direct relations between dBRL and these
as shown in the following table and graphs:
