Measurerment Results: return loss, reflection coefficient and VSWR.  
  Return Loss: the formula is
. Wherein, 
 is the 
return loss, 
 is the incident power and 
 is the reflected power. 
  Reflection Coefficient: the ratio of the reflected voltage to the incident 
voltage. 
  VSWR: the ratio of the maximum voltage to the minimum voltage of the 
standing wave. 
 
This measurement requires the VSWR, VSWR bridge options and TG (DSA815-TG/ 
DSA832-TG/DSA875-TG/DSA832E-TG). Two measurements have to be performed
