  • How to Read a VSWR Graph VSWR is usually displayed graphically versus frequency.
  • The lowest point on the graph is the antenna’s operational center frequency.
  • In most cases, this will be different than the designed center frequency due to fabrication tolerances.
  • When used in conjunction with a ground plane smaller than that used to tune the antenna, the center frequency typically will shift higher in frequency and the bandwidth will decrease.

Topics covered by the datasheet

The document includes sections related to:

  • Features
  • Ordering Information

Engineering review checklist

  • Verify contact current, voltage, contact resistance, insulation and mating-cycle ratings.
  • Check the exact keying, pitch, orientation, mating part and mechanical drawing before footprint approval.
  • Review assembly force, retention, cable strain relief and environmental exposure for the application.

Always confirm values against the latest manufacturer-controlled datasheet, especially when qualifying a substitute or releasing a production BOM.
