    SWR: what the antenna sends back to the transmitter

    Reflection coefficient, SWR, return loss and reflected power, on a 144.800 MHz ground plane simulated with NEC2: the textbook quarter wave is too long, and 20 m of RG-58 make a disconnected antenna read an SWR of 2.95.

    Spotted an error, something to add?
