By observing minima and maxima of a standing-wave pattern, parameters like frequency, standing-wave ratio, or impedance can be measured, and thereby the characteristics of a circuit connected to the load side of the line can be determined. Applications include analysis of antennas, components, coaxial elements, and networks. | By observing minima and maxima of a standing-wave pattern, parameters like frequency, standing-wave ratio, or impedance can be measured, and thereby the characteristics of a circuit connected to the load side of the line can be determined.

The 874-LBA is an update of the [[874-LB]], featuring improved accuracy and carriage construction. The redesigned carriage is controlled by a nylon cord and a series of pulleys to remove its drive control to a fixed position at the load end. | The 874-LBA is an update of the [[874-LB]], featuring improved accuracy and carriage construction. The redesigned carriage is controlled by a nylon cord forming a complete loop, and a series of pulleys to remove its drive control to a fixed position at the load end. This reduces changes in probe coupling caused by changing forces on the carriage. | ||
The 874-LBA was supplied with a protective wooden case, a spare nylon cable, and a crystal detector. | The 874-LBA was supplied with a protective wooden case, a spare nylon cable, and a crystal detector. | ||
