An apparatus for measuring the Standing Wave Ratio and the RF transmitted power is in a transmission line. The ratio of the reflected component over the incident component of the transmitted signal is indicated on a logarithmic dot bar readout driven by the outputs of a stack of comparators. The comparators are separately referenced to a voltage divider ladder to which is applied a first DC voltage proportional to the incident component. The inputs of the comparator receive a second DC voltage signal proportional to the reflected component. The readout is provided with a scale directly indicating the Standard Wave Ratio. A similar circuit with linear readout referenced to a full scale voltage received the first DC voltage signal on its joint comparator inputs in order to display the power transmitted on the line.
