A transceiver includes an antenna having an input for transmitting electrical signals applied thereto. Signal generating means are provided for generating electrical reference signals of a fixed frequency. Transmission means selectively couple the reference signals to the antenna input in response to logic signals. Sensing means digitally indicate the forward voltage waveforms and reverse voltage waveforms on the antenna when the reference signals are applied thereto. A processor is coupled to selectively generate the logic signals and to receive the digital signals indicating the magnitude of the forward voltage and reverse voltage for making signal strength calculations thereon.
