Question 172

Which of the following can be determined with a directional wattmeter?

  1. Standing wave ratioCorrect answer
  2. Antenna front-to-back ratio
  3. RF interference
  4. Radio wave propagation

Explanation

A directional wattmeter separates the forward travelling wave from the reflected one, and standing wave ratio is determined entirely by the ratio of those two powers. Reading both and computing the ratio gives the SWR.
