A standing wave ratio meter, SWR meter, ISWR meter, or VSWR meter measures the standing wave ratio in a transmission line. The meter indirectly measures the degree of mismatch between a transmission l
An SWR meter for CB radio equipment
Interior view of an SWR meter. The three parallel coupled lines are visible. Diodes, capacitors and termination resistors are mounted at the ends of the sense lines.
A radio transmitter or receiver is connected to an antenna which emits or receives the radio waves. The antenna feed system or antenna feed is the cable or conductor, and other associated equipment, w

…between a transmission line and its load (usually an antenna). Electronics technicians use it to adjust radio transmitters and their antennas and feedlines to be impedance matched so they work together properly, and evaluate the effectiveness of other impedance matching efforts. A directional SWR meter…
