Voltage Standing Wave Ratio(VSWR)

The parameter VSWR is a measure that numerically describes how well the antenna is impedance matched. VSWR stands for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio and is also referred to as Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). VSWR is a function of the reflection coefficient, which describes the power reflected from the antenna. VSWR pattern of our LPD antenna is below 2 in entire frequency band (40 MHz - 900 MHz).
