"Dave" wrote in message ... "Reg Edwards" wrote in message ... Reflected power is a mere fiction. Power which is not radiated from an antenna never actually arrives there. In fact it never leaves the transmitter. but, but, but, i can SEE reflected power! it shows on my TDR, i can see ghosts in video from it, i can measure it, i can catch it in a circulator! how can it be fiction?!?!?! Clearly there is reflected power. Just don't take the SWR meter too literally. It does not actually measure power, but the scale has been fudged so it indicates the correct power if the load is equal to some design value. I can see a long thread here. Tam/WB2TT |
