Dipole with standing wave - what happens to reflected wave?
RF transmitter output has impedance of 50 ohms and is connected to dipole
with a feedpoint impedance of 50 ohms via feeder with characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. System is perfectly matched. I expect SWR meter to show perfect match of 1:1. Dipole has a standing wave on it. Ends of dipole are at high voltage. Dipole is centre-fed with centre being high current point. Standing wave means that a reflected wave exists. Wave is reflected from open ends of dipole. What happens to the reflected wave? How does it vanish at centre of dipole? Why does reflected wave not go along feeder into transmitter output? There cannot be a reflected wave on feeder because SWR is 1:1. |
