Figure D–3: Slide Rule 50
W
Source
If the reflection is downward from the 50
W
or 75
W
reference level, set the reference
level to the top of the chosen scale. If the reflection is toward a higher impedance
than the reference level, set the reference level to the bottom of the chosen scale.
Then count off the right number of divisions and subdivisions to locate the level
corresponding to the peak of the reflection and read the corresponding impedance
levels (Ohms) on the adjacent sliding scale.
