# Impedance mismatch and VSWR # Scope: Real load impedance reflection against real reference; reactive part omitted. # Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending. # Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards. load = 75 ohm reference = 50 ohm reflection := (load-reference)/(load+reference) returnLossDb := -20*log10(abs(reflection)) vswr := (1+abs(reflection))/(1-abs(reflection)) check VSWR budget: vswr <= 2 scenario alternative: load = 60 ohm
