Performance Test

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) and Reflection Coefficient (Rho)
Performance Test
This section does not provide a preset test procedure since there are several test
methods and different equipment available to make these measurements. Therefore,
when measuring this specification, the actual accuracy of the test equipment must be
taken into account in order to determine the pass/fail condition. The Maximum
SWR values (also expressed in terms of the Reflection Coefficient [Rho]) for each
model of Power Sensor are listed in Table 2-2.
