SWR is short for Standing Wave Ratio. It's a parameter often used by hams to indicate if the antenna matchs with the transmitting radio. For SWR value, it has different effects on the built-in and external antennas. so there are differnt SWR standard required for antennas with the different working environment.  ...

antenna SWR, antenna gain, and Directionality are reference factors for judging the quality of an antenna.  ...

"If the antenna feed is not well-matched, it will burn the power amplifier." That is, if the standing wave ratio is high, there will be the risk of burning the power amplifier.  ...

We know the VSWR of the antenna system is close to 1:1. If it is close to 1:1, it is good. I often hear this question: But what if I can't reach 1? If the standing wave ratio is as small as a few, is the antenna qualified?  ...
