What is BS EN 2591-221 - Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) about?
BS EN 2591 is a European standard that discusses the elements of the electrical and optical connection.
BS EN 2591-221 specifies a measurement method of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), in the required frequency bandwidth of coax contacts or connectors with characteristic impedance.
BS EN 2591-221 shall be used together with EN 2591-100.
The measurement is carried out according to the vectorial method using “S” parameters.
Who is BS EN 2591-221 - Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) for?
BS EN 2591-221 on Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of optical connection elements
- Manufacturers of fibre optic elements
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Manufacturers of coaxial device
- Quality control personnel
- Aerospace technical specialists
Why should you use BS EN 2591-221 - Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)?
Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is defined as the ratio between transmitted and reflected voltage standing waves in a radio frequency (RF) electrical transmission system.
BS EN 2591-221 guides you on the preparation of specimens and provides test methods for measuring VSWR.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2591-221, you can standardize and demonstrate the reliability of optical connection elements and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
