Maximum transmission efficiency occurs when the load impedance matches the generator impedance. Engineers do this to eliminate standing waves, which can severely damage equipment. Transmission lines ...
As EMC engineers, we use many types of antennas – many broadband, these days. As a traveling EMC troubleshooter/consultant, I reply on small collapsible DIY ...
SWR or standing wave ratio is the ratio of the amplitude of a partial standing wave at an antinode (maximum) to the amplitude at an adjacent node (minimum), in an electrical transmission line. The SWR ...
The purpose of this article is to explain, in detail, the process involved in building and tuning a high-frequency (HF) RFID antenna, which would operate at 13.56 MHz. Some concepts will be explained ...
You have probably heard the statement about standing wave ratio: “I changed the length of the transmission line and reduced the SWR.” Or the opposite statement, “I changed the length of the ...
