VSWR
1/3
VSWR
Consider again the voltage along a terminated transmission line,
as a function of position z :
V ( z ) = V0+ e j z + L e + j z
Recall this is a complex function, the magnitude of which
expresses the magnitude of the sinusoidal signal at position z,
while the phase of the complex value represents the relative
phase of the sinusoidal signal.
Lets look at the magnitude only:
|V ( z )| = |V0+| |e j z + L e + j z |
= |V0+||e j z ||1 + L e + j 2 z |
= |V0+||1 + L e + j 2 z |

V ( z ) max = V0+ (1 + L
V ( z ) min = V0+ (1 L
VSWR
V ( z ) max
