This standard describes test methods to measure impedance,
reflection coefficient, return loss, and voltage standing wave
ratio (VSWR) in the time and frequency domains.
NOTE – These test methods are written for test professionals who
are knowledgeable in the electronics field and are trained to use
the referenced equipment. Because the measurement values are
heavily influenced by the fixturing and equipment this method
cannot describe all of the possible combinations. The major
equipment manufacturers provide Application Notes for more in-depth
technical description of how to optimize the use of their
equipment. It is imperative that the referencing document include
the necessary description and sketches for the test professional to
understand how to setup and perform the requested measurements.
