Abstract: The invention described a pocket size antenna VSWR indicator having a self-contained low level wideband RF signal source which is applied to an antenna under test through a four arm RF resistive bridge circuit. The bridge circuit has been designed to be very accurate and reliable and provides a novelly positioned reference against which the reflection co-efficient of the transmission system is compared to reliably indicate the VSWR of the system. The bridge circuit provides a flat response over the desired wideband frequency range and over the range of antenna impedances which may be encountered. The RF null or bridge balance is detected in a radio receiver or transceiver tuned to the desired operating frequency, from which an indication of antenna VSWR may be provided. The antenna VSWR may be indicated in a variety of way, such as by means of a numbered or colored dial, a plurality of LEDs or an audio tone shift against an internal reference.
