Antenna Matching Explained: Resistance, Reactance, and SWR

Post author By admin
Post date November 6, 2026

Antenna Matching Explained: Resistance, Reactance, and SWR

What really happens at your antenna’s feed point, and why doesn’t the impedance always match your 50-ohm coax?

In this video, we take a closer look at antenna feed point impedance and impedance matching, two fundamental concepts every ham radio operator should understand.

We’ll explore how resistance and reactance combine to determine antenna impedance, why feed point impedance changes with antenna design, frequency, height, and surrounding objects, and what it actually means to achieve a proper impedance match.

Topics covered:
– What feed point impedance really means
– Resistance vs. reactance in antenna systems
– Why antennas don’t always present 50 ohms
– How impedance mismatches affect SWR and reflected power
– Why a low SWR doesn’t necessarily mean an efficient antenna

Whether you’re building a dipole, experimenting with an end-fed antenna, or troubleshooting an antenna system, understanding feed point impedance will help you make better decisions about antenna design, tuning, and matching.

Remember: A good impedance match doesn’t automatically mean a good antenna!

NOTE: This video was produced with the assistance of AI, if you are easily triggered by that, go watch some cat videos.

My Campers Permanently Temporary Ham Radio Installation

My Campers Permanently Temporary Ham Radio Installation

Getting radios and 12V into the camper has been a challenge since I bought the new trailer. But, if you stare at something long enough, the solution will present itself. It may not be a good solution, but it is a solution. I’m actually pretty happy with it. I did it all without drilling a single hole in the trailer itself, too! Now, I can run two radios, two runs of coax, & two antennas all from the comfort of the camper. Plus, I figured out a solution to getting USB power to the bed!

Your Next Desktop NAS – From Beelink!

Your Next Desktop NAS - From Beelink!

Beelink finally made the ME Pro NAS with FOUR hard drive bays! In this hands-on review, I’m unboxing and testing the Beelink ME Pro N150 4-Bay NAS, a surprisingly compact network-attached storage system featuring four SATA drive bays, three M.2 NVMe SSD slots, 2.5GbE and 5GbE Ethernet, and a removable, upgradeable motherboard. We take a close look at the hardware, cooling system, and modular design before setting up FygoOS, creating storage volumes, and exploring RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10 options.

👉 Beelink ME Pro Official Launch Page: https://go.temporarilyoffline.com/hctgt4

👉 Beelink ME Pro Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1086667996/beelink-me-pro-nas?ref=4fojwo

How fast is the Beelink ME Pro in real-world use? I connected it directly to a Linux mini PC over 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, measured approximately 2.35 Gbps with iperf3, and transferred 10 GB files at around 256 MB/s. We also benchmark the included NVMe system drive against a Kingston SSD, configure SMB network sharing, connect from macOS, and explore why Wi-Fi can become a serious bottleneck for NAS performance. This is a real-world setup and performance test, including the surprises and frustrations along the way.

And we’re not finished! I picked up seven recycled hard drives for just $50, and in a future video we’re going to put this four-bay NAS through some serious storage testing. Subscribe to Temporarily Offline to see what happens when we load it with old spinning rust, build RAID arrays, and test drive reliability and performance.

Disclosure: This video is sponsored by Beelink. The review and opinions are my own.

Why i am Excited for SetPower RF20 12V Fridge

Why i am Excited for SetPower RF20 12V Fridge

In this video, I share why I’m upgrading from standard cooler bags to the SetPower RF20 12V Portable Fridge for road trips and portable ham radio operations (Parks on the Air / POTA).

Tired of gel packs losing their cool after just 3 to 4 hours, I needed a reliable, semi-permanent 12V car refrigerator that fits neatly into the trunk. Watch as I test the SetPower RF20 holding steady at 39°F, powered by a battery and topped off with solar panels so it can run all day while I operate the radio!
