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)

                                                                  Ó

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?
