Standing wave ratio from ratio of average power to incident power¶

Knowing the average power delivered to the load and the incident power, it is possible to calculate the standing wave ratio.

standing_wave_ratio¶: standing_wave_ratio.

Symbol:: SWR
Latex:: \(\text{SWR}\)
Dimension:: dimensionless

incident_power¶: Incident power.

Symbol:: P_incident
Latex:: \(P_\text{incident}\)
Dimension:: power

average_power¶: Average power delivered to the load.

Symbol:: avg(P)
Latex:: \(\langle P \rangle\)
Dimension:: power

law¶

avg(P) / P_incident = 4 * SWR / (SWR + 1)^2

Latex:: \[\frac{\langle P \rangle}{P_\text{incident}} = \frac{4 \text{SWR}}{\left(\text{SWR} + 1\right)^{2}}\]
