[AMPS] The Worldwide, No Holds Barred, SWR Quiz.

[Gilmer, Mike]

Since I'm wearing egg anyway, more can't hurt.

1.  Smith Chart says 1/2 wave cable brings you all the around back to
the original load impedance (50 ohms, here).  Therefore the black box of
the cable/load looks like 50 ohms, so, all should be happy.  I say the
VSWR is 93/50 = 1.86:1 - this caused by the mismatch at the load end.

2. I'd like to know this one.    2.63?     SQRT( 2 * (1.86 ^ 2))
