What does the standing wave ratio at a transmitter output indicate?

  • A.The modulation depth
  • B.The harmonic content
  • C.The frequency accuracy of the transmitted carrier
  • D.How well the antenna is matched

Answer: D

It measures the mismatch between the feeder and the antenna, and hence how much power is reflected rather than radiated. A high ratio wastes power and can damage the output stage. Modulation depth needs a monitor. Harmonic content needs a spectrum analyser or a filter measurement. And frequency accuracy needs a counter. Antenna matching is the one transmitter parameter that changes with weather, icing and nearby objects, which is why it is monitored continuously.
