Sort of ...
The Return Loss is 63dBm - 36dBm = 27dB (that's very good!) Converting to reflection coefficient, Gamma = 10^(-27dB/20) = 0.0447 Then, VSWR = (Gamma + 1)/(Gamma-1) = 1.09 : 1 No volts or watts but, to be honest, Gamma is a voltage ratio ... :-) Hope that helped, Darrell ... "Gudmundur" wrote in message ... If I know only the power in dbm is there a formula to arrive at vswr without conversion first to watts or volts? outbound = +63dbm (2kw) reflected = +36dbm (4w) This is a waveguide system with a dummyload connected in the event the numbers seem improper. I would like to use the formula when we connect the real antenna. |
