This calculator is designed to model the common configuration where a transmitter which is designed for a particular load impedance, is connected to a an antenna of that impedance, over transmission line of the same characteristic impedance.he calculator allows specification of the transmission line loss 'upstream' and 'downstream' from the measurement point. It is intended to provide a simple analysis of the system at the transmitter and at the antenna where a directional wattmeter is used to take measurements in the system at some convenient intermediate point. It assumes that the characteristic impedance of the transmission line is approximately real, which is sufficiently accurate above 1MHz for most practical lines. A consequence of the assumption is that loss is low, and that loss per unit length is approximately uniform. For a more accurate result that does not depend on those assumptions, see RF Transmission Line Loss Calculator / Enhanced .
