What is return loss?

  • A.The loss in the balun at the feed point of the antenna
  • B.The reflected power expressed in decibels below the incident
  • C.The power lost in the feeder on the return journey
  • D.The difference between forward and reverse gain

Answer: B

Return loss states how far below the incident power the reflected power lies, so a large number in decibels means a good match; ten decibels corresponds to a standing wave ratio near two and twenty decibels to about 1.2. It is the same information as the standing wave ratio in a more convenient form for wideband plotting. Feeder loss, gain asymmetry and balun loss are all separate quantities, though each can disguise a poor match by absorbing the reflected power.
