Calculates Forward Voltage Minimum
70.263 Volts
Vf (Min) = Vf - Vfd
Calculates Forward Voltage Maximum
71.158 Volts
Vf (Max) = Vf + Vfd
Calculates Reflected Voltage Minimum
11.906 Volts
Vr (Min) = Vr - Vrd (or 0 if Vrd > Vr)
Calculates Reflected Voltage Maximum
16.378 Volts
Vr (Max) = Vr + Vrd
Calculates Forward Power Minimum
98.739 Watts
Pf (Min) = (Vf (Min) ^ 2) / 50 Ohms
Calculates Forward Power Min Error
-1.261 %
Error = 100% x (Pf (Min) - Pf) / Pf
Calculates Forward Power Maximum
101.269 Watts
Pf (Max) = (Vf (Max) ^ 2) / 50 Ohms
Calculates Forward Power Max Error
1.269 %
Error = 100% x (Pf (Max) - Pf) / Pf
Calculates Reflected Power Minimum
2.835 Watts
Pr (Min) = (Vr (Min) ^ 2) / 50 Ohms
Calculates Reflected Power Min Error
-29.123 %
Error = 100% x (Pr (Min) - Pr) / Pr
Calculates Reflected Power Maximum
5.365 Watts
Pr (Max) = (Vr (Max) ^ 2) / 50 Ohms
Calculates Reflected Power Max Error
34.123 %
Error = 100% x (Pr (Max) - Pr) / Pr
Calculates Rho Minimum
0.167
Rho (Min) = Sqrt (Pr (Min) / Pf (Max))
Calculates Rho
0.200
Rho = Sqrt (Pr / Pf)
Calculates Rho Maximum
0.233
Rho (Max) = Sqrt (Pr (Max) / Pf (Min))
Calculates VSWR Minimum
1.402
VSWR (Min) = (1 + Rho (Min)) / (1 - Rho (Min))
Calculates VSWR
1.500
VSWR = (1 + Rho) / (1 - Rho)
Calculates VSWR Maximum
1.608
VSWR (Max) = (1 + Rho (Max)) / (1 - Rho (Max))
Calculates Return Loss Minimum
-15.529 dB
Return Loss (Min) = 10 x Log (Pr (Min) / Pf (Max))
Calculates Return Loss
-13.979 dB
Return Loss = 10 x Log ( Pr / Pf )
Calculates Return Loss Maximum
-12.649 dB
Return Loss (Max) = 10 x Log (Pr (Max) / Pf (Min))
