Can someone tell me where I can get an SWR meter that will work in the 2.4 to 2.45 ghz range with 50 to 1000 mW? I have found several websites that claim to tell you how to build your own, but none of them have anywhere enough information for someone who doesn't already know what they are doing.

 Hi Chris

Could you get the information you need with a directional coupler??


That is a good question. One site talked about using a directional coupler, a few diodes and a scope to measure SWR but I didn't really understand it all and it sounded like I needed a special diode that they didn't give details on where to get.

What I am trying to do is tune home made antennas for wireless networks. So I need to measure the SWR so I know when the antenna is tunned as good as I can get it.
