ANT-W63-MON-ccc

Edge of Ground Plane, Bent 90 Degrees (102 mm x 102 mm Ground Plane)

The charts on the following pages represent data taken with the antenna oriented at the edge of the ground

plane, bent 90 degrees (Edge-Bent), as shown in Figure 17.

VSWR

Figure 18 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.
