WS6318 exceed maximum VSWR, blow-up?

Hi,

The specs state a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1 for the WS6138
That quite difficult to reach when applying the module in a tiny mobile measurement device.
What happens when this maximum is exceeded? I understand that the radio link will not be that good.
But my main concern is:

  • Will I damage, blow up the transmitter circuitry in the module?

regards,
Edwin

Hi,

I suppose it can cause some interference may be… need to check if it can have such serious consequences… never heard as such…

Hi,

Please if you would.
It will be used in GPS-loggers and we can’t repair if it breaks down. The loggers are used on birds and far, far away.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes it can have some serious consequences. Module might even break.

Thanks
