Standing Wave Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) = Voltage Maxima/Voltage Minima
SWR = V_max/V_min
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) - Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) is a ratio of the maximum amplitude of voltage or current to the minimum amplitude along the transmission line.
Voltage Maxima - (Measured in Volt) - Voltage maxima, also known as voltage peaks or voltage crests, refer to the highest points or levels of voltage that occur in a transmission line or an antenna system.
Voltage Minima - (Measured in Volt) - Voltage minima typically occur at points where there is a mismatch between the characteristic impedance of the transmission line and the impedance of the connected load.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Voltage Maxima: 10.5 Volt --> 10.5 Volt No Conversion Required
Voltage Minima: 1.5 Volt --> 1.5 Volt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SWR = V_max/V_min --> 10.5/1.5

Evaluating ... ...

SWR = 7

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7 <-- Standing Wave Ratio (SWR)
