Performance Test
Standing wave ratio (SWR) and reflection coefficient (Rho)
performance test
This section does not establish preset SWR test procedures since there are several
test methods and different equipment available for testing the SWR or reflection
coefficient. Therefore, the actual accuracy of the test equipment must be
accounted for when measuring against instrument specifications to determine a
pass or fail condition. The test system used must not exceed the system Rho
uncertainties shown in Table 1-5 when testing the E4412A, or in Table 1-6 when
testing the E4413A.
