VSWR

>> Voltage Standing wave ratio is defined as:
>> \Gamma is the voltage reflection coefficient at the input terminal of the antennas 
Z_in = antenna input impedance 
Z_o = Characteristic impedance of the transmission (Tx) line

>> So what is the Tx line or transmission line?
The transmission line is two wires running parallel to each other
To find the Z_o (characteristic impedance) we can measure the voltage across and current of those two lines. Then, apply Ohm's law to find the impedance 

Furthermore, the Tx line is also represented as:
In which: 
L: magnetic field around the wire
R: resistance across 2 wires
C: how electron repel each other
G: dielectric material separate conductors
