G9A02: What is the relationship between high standing wave ratio (SWR) and transmission line loss?

G9A02G9A

What is the relationship between high standing wave ratio (SWR) and transmission line loss?

Answer choices for G9A02
Why this wins

The key fact is High SWR increases loss in a lossy transmission line. Match that fact to the exact condition in the question; the other choices describe a different rule, band, component, or operating situation.

Memory hook: Lower SWR means the feed line and load are better matched.

Direct answer summary (2023-2027 NCVEC pool)

The official correct answer for G9A02 is High SWR increases loss in a lossy transmission line.

The key fact is High SWR increases loss in a lossy transmission line. Match that fact to the exact condition in the question; the other choices describe a different rule, band, component, or operating situation.
