A VSWR test measures the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage in a standing wave along a transmission line, indicating how well an antenna's impedance is matched to its feedline. Lower VSWR values mean less signal is reflected back toward the source, resulting in more efficient power transfer and better overall RF system performance.
