VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) is a metric commonly used with antenna systems for ham or shortwave radio communication.VSWR is normally defined as a ratio with a 1:1 VSWR, indicating that there is an exact or perfect match between all antenna system elements.SWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) is a metric commonly used with antenna systems for ham or shortwave radio communication.
In the meantime, this information will help the newcomer understand the basic concept. SWR is the common abbreviation for Standing Wave Ratio. It may, in some circles, be referred to as VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio). Never the less it is the same. For the most part the term has been reduced to SWR since the calculation can involve either voltage or current.
