This is a simple SWR and RF power indicator for QRP transceivers. It will work well with 1...5 W rigs. The circuit is based on a design by Hans Steinort (DF3OS), see http://www.sp5jnw.sem.pl/konstrukcje/atudf3oshtm/atudf3oseng.pdf, with improvements from Dieter Engels (DJ6TE) and Hannes Hiller (DL9SCO).

An LED SWR bridge is almost always used with an antenna tuner. When tuning up an antenna using an antenna tuner, first listen to the band background noise on the receiver, and try to peak the band noise

2024年1月19日 · Our Mini SWR bridge visually indicates the match between an antenna and transmitter. Simply adjust your antenna or tuner for the minimum LED brightness. Displays reflected power (SWR) as the brightness of an LED. Limits the …

A QRP SWR meter, also known as a power meter or wattmeter, is an essential tool for measuring the SWR of a transmitter. Exploring the circuit design of a QRP SWR meter can help enthusiasts understand its functionality and potentially even build their own.

We have tuned the curve fitting to match that of LUNARIS G6 HF VHF UHF SWR METER from Ceda-Labz. Install this core in Arduino IDE, and then select Generic RP2040 as the target board. Cost to build (in INR): Less than 1200 INR including the OLED screen, and PCB from JLPCB.

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) meters are built into most modern transceivers. However, for those of us who build their own equipment, it's useful to have a compact standalone SWR meter. SWR meters measure the impedance match between a transmitter and the output load.

Transmitters that produce 1 watt or less are sometimes referred to as ‘QRPp’. Enthusiasts of this exeptionally low power range strive to make contact over impressive and occasionally spectacular distances, using minimal power. —But I digress.

This QRP SWR meter was designed for using with my Yaesu FT-817ND transceiver. Actually, it is antenna impedance meter based on Wheatstone bridge where antenna represents the unknown resistance. The bridge is built with six 2W resistors thus …

If you want to experiment with a quarter of the transmit power during working QRP, then you put the meter in measurement mode SWR + REF. Left the principle of the forward measurement, right the principle of the reflected measurement. The measurement is based on the Wheatstone bridge.
