MFJ-269 Instruction Manual HF/VHF/UHF SWR Analyzer

23

This mode functions like other SWR and impedance modes, with the exception the IMPEDANCE meter
measures reactance. This allows the operator to easily locate frequencies where system reactance crosses zero.

5.4.1.6 Match Efficiency

Match Efficiency

is the final measurement mode available in the

Advanced 1

menu. This mode is reached (after

entering the

Advanced 1

menu) by pressing and releasing the

MODE

button three times. It can also be reached

(as all other advanced modes are) by stepping through

Advanced 1

modes with the

MODE

button until the

display indicates

“Match Efficiency

”.

Match efficiency is only another way of describing SWR. It is similar to mismatch loss, but SWR data is
expressed as a “percentage of forward power” compared to the “reactive” or “circulating power” of the system.

CAUTION:

“Match efficiency” may mislead those unfamiliar with SWR and energy transfer in a system. Power

“transmitted” or transferred to a load can be nearly 100% even when a match efficiency calculation or display
indicates a system has

nearly zero percent match efficiency

. Conversely, match efficiency can measure nearly

100%, and the actual power at the load might be very low due to system losses.

Match efficiency ONLY applies to the loss in power transfer from a perfect 50 ohm fixed tuned source to the
input of the feedline or system where the measurement is made. It is mostly useful in laboratory situations. It is
not a description of antenna system or feedline efficiency. Even with nearly zero percent match efficiency, an
antenna system can radiate applied power with good efficiency. With any given amount of match efficiency your
antenna system can be near 100% or near zero percent efficient.

5.4.2 UHF Advanced 1

Advanced menus are reached by pressing and holding the

GATE

and

MODE

buttons for an several seconds.

As in HF/VHF operation, the

“MAIN”

mode can be reached by continuing to hold both

GATE

and

MAIN

buttons for an extended period. Doing so will cycle the analyzer through all available menus.

5.4.2.1 Return Loss and Reflection Coefficient (UHF)

“Return Loss and Reflection Coefficient”

is the first measurement mode in the

Advanced 1

UHF menu. This

menu is reached by pressing and holding the

GATE

and

MODE

buttons simultaneously until the “

Advanced 1”

UHF menu appears on the screen. The display will briefly indicate:
