ARDUINO RF power & SWR meter

This sketch will readout RF power and SWR from any SWR bridge (for example 'monimatch' type). As this 'monimatch' type of bridge is frequency dependant, the meter must be calibrated for every band. Because my primary interest was for VHF/UHF/SHF,  I have foreseen positions for 6m, 4m, 2m, 70 cm, 23cm and 13cm bands - but you can use the ARDUINO readout on HF as well. If you intend to build a HF or VHF bridge yourself, there are several designs available on the web : I recommend to take a look at the information herehere , here and there !

The meter will operate in 3 modes:

When the band is selected/changed, the display indicated the 'full scale' of power readout. With my type of bridge (some breakout part of mobile radio base station I presume, but working well till 2.4 GHz - I purchased it on a local flea market...) the power ranges from 1kw (6m band) to 400mW  (on 13cm).   Other possibility is  to build a directional coupler, many designs can be found on the net.  With my coupler, in the PEP power measurement mode, it is for example perfectly possible to measure the output of a WiFi access points ... Power range could be increased by adding some resistive voltage dividing network, as the maximum input on ARDUINO is +5v.  But is is essential that same power gives same voltage, both in 'forward' as 'reflected' mode (when the coupler is turned around).

The meter is indented to be battery powered, therefore there is a circuit to control the LCD backlight (drawing a lot of current) and monitor the battery voltage.

Front panel of PWR & SWR meter. Left = power switch, middle = mode select push-button, right = band change push-button

Forward power is 23.3 W  corresponding to +43.6 dBm

Below is the sketch  or download it here .   It was compiled with IDE version 0022.- IMPORTANT : please use the same or you might get errors when compiling !  You still can download previous versions from ARDUINO website . Download the connection diagram (as pdf) here  or  a better schematic drawn by Vlado Z32AN here.

See the meter in action on YouTube  http://www.youtube.com  

How to calibrate the power indication ?

Using a directional coupler which is not frequency compensated, the forward voltage (indicating the power) will be frequency dependant.  For a 'monimatch' type, the voltage will increase with frequency - or - otherwise said, the meter will become more sensitive at higher frequency (off course, as long as it is operated within  it's design frequency range).  The maximum voltage which can be measured by Arduino is +5v , this is limiting the range upwards - if necessary, a voltage divider must be foreseen (same on REFL side off course!) - according to your frequency, power & coupler.

To calibrate the sketch, follow the simple procedure below :

//CALIBRATION ROUTINE FORWARD VOLTAGE  ////////////////////
 
 // This routine prints on LCD the FWD voltage measured.
 // When no power applied, the FWD voltage displayed will be the diode voltage in mV
 // To calculate the calibration factor, take the reading (including diode voltage)
 // Uncomment this routine to enter calibration mode
 
 lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
 lcd.print("VoltFWD= "); 
 lcd.print(VoltFWD, DEC);   
 delay(500);                
 
 //   /////////////////////////////////////////////////////

PowCal=(VoltFWD²/Power) / 1000  (where power is expressed in Watt)

In our case : PowCal = 2500 x 2500 / 10 / 1000 = 625

#define PowCal2m     (625)    // 2m band
