CENTER OF GROUND PLANE
The charts on the following pages represent data taken with the antenna oriented at the center of the ground plane, as shown in
VSWR
Figure 12 provides the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the antenna bandwidth. VSWR describes the power
reflected from the antenna back to the radio. A lower VSWR value indicates better antenna performance at a given frequency.
Reflected power is also shown on the right-side vertical axis as a gauge of the percentage of transmitter power reflected back
from the antenna.
