Power: Watts
Measures power in Watts.
Power: dBm
Measures power in dBm.
Match: VSWR
Measures match, a complex ratio of reflected power to forward power
expressed in VSWR.
Note: “Pr” = Reflected Power, “Pf” = Forward Power
Match: Return Loss dB
Measures match, a complex ratio of reflected average power to forward power
expressed in dB.
