Does anyone know how to calculate the dB loss equivalents for given SWR
values? Either a on-line chart of the equivalent loss for all SWR values or
a formula where I could plug in various values and generate a like chart
would be great. I realize that I could calculate lose by measuring the power
at both ends of a coax segment and plugging it into: 10log(beginning/end)
and then comparing that with the SWR but I'm interested in all dB loses for
all SWR values, not just for one specific coax with one specific SWR. Any
and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
