Line loss itself is a comparison of two powers, those entering and leaving the line. The line loss in watts is the power entering the line at the input end minus the power leaving the line at the output end. Here's an example: The source is a signal generator equipped with a circulator-resistor that dissipates all reflected power. 100w SGCR--------------feedline------------------mismatched load The signal generator is sourcing 100 watts. The load is dissipating 25 watts. The circulator resistor is dissipating 50 watts. The feedline is dissipating 25 watts. What is the feedline loss in dB? Is that 25 watts lost from the signal generator output power of 100 watts or lost from the NET power available which is 50 watts? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
