Below is one little, easy for calculate formula with two tables, which could
be
a wake-up call for you. Don't over-trust the goodlooking indication of your
precious SWR-meter, which is situated at your worktable.
Because the SWR value at the input of antenna cable is not a actual SWR of
your
favorite "WONDER-antenna".
Description:
------------
You can calculate it yourself what is "the simple truth" with following
simplified formula:
b + c
SWRa = -------
b - c
where:
SWRa = actual SWR at antenna input (cable far end)
b = coefficient vs.actual cable attenuation in dB
c = coefficient vs.checked SWR (SWRc) @ cable input(measuring point)

----------------------------------------
Notes:
------
* The cable attenuation in dB & SWR at antenna are actual values vs. actual
frequency & all others (bad)influenced factors.
** For determinating of the antenna cable attenuation, you can use both
programms "Antenna Cable Loss & SWR" or "Antenna Cable Loss & SWR Calculator"
on the address: http://www.qsl.net/lz1len/projects.html
Examples:
--------- 1+0
1) dBs=0dB (b=1); SWRc=1 (c=0); SWRa= ----- = 1 (Border case, the Dream)
1-0
0.5623+0.2 0.7623
2) dBs=2.5dB (b=0.5623); SWRc=1.5 (c=0.2); SWRa= ---------- = ------ = 2.1
0.5623-0.2 0.3623
0.501+0.2875 0.7867
3) dBs=3dB(b=0.501); SWRc=1.8(c=0.2857); SWRa= ------------ = ------ = 3.65
0.501-0.2875 0.2153
0.4466+0.2857 0.7323
4) dBs=3.5dB(b=0.4466); SWRc=1.8(c=0.2857); SWRa=------------- = ------ = 4.55
0.4466-0.2857 0.1609
5) Stop! Don't panic! A 5 to 1 SWR does'nt hurt anything :)
Have fun, a small SWR & 73 de Peter, LZ1LEN lz1len@qsl.net
Why don't U send an interesting bul?
