> A 3dB pad gives 6 dB return loss. For example if load SWR is 2:1 (5.5dB > RL) and we add a 3 dB pad, return loss is 9.5 dB (1.4:1 SWR).
Tom, The 6 dB R/L from the 3 dB pad is definitely correct but you lost me on the 2:1 SWR and corresponding R/L figure above. I calculate a 2:1 VSWR as a 9.3 dB R/L and a 1.4:1 SWR at 15.56 dB R/L. What am I not taking into consideration?
