line loss calculator

Coax Calculator Dipole / Inverted Vee Antenna Design

Here's a quick line loss calculator to use Note that the simple program used for this web page gives a very close approximation for additional losses due to SWR.

Set Parameters as Desired
Line Type:
Line Length:	Feet Meters
Frequency:	MHz
Load SWR:	: 1
Power In:	W

Results
Matched Loss:	dB
SWR Loss:	dB
Total Loss:	dB
Power Out:	W

This program is provided "as-is". It is thought to be accurate but it is the responsibility of the user to verify the accuracy of the calculations when using this program.
