To get the power delivered to the load, you must subtract
reflected power from forward power. In your case that seems to be: Pfwd - Pref = Pload = ~Psource 200w - 100w = 100w = ~100w How can that be? If the meter is basically a directional coupler then the forward power is just that. Subtracting any reflected power will just give a stupid answer. The only errors will be due to the directivity of the coupler, which will give a band of uncertainty which varies with VSWR, and the error due to the accuracy of the detectors. My Bird does not subtract any reflected power to give a forward power reading!! It can't I need to rotate the slug to read reverse power. 73 Jeff |
