G9A12:

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

1. There is no interaction between transmission line loss and SWR
2. If a transmission line is lossy, high SWR will increase the loss
3. High SWR makes it difficult to measure transmission line loss
4. High SWR reduces the relative effect of transmission line loss

G9A13:

What is the effect of transmission line loss on SWR measured at the input to the line?

1. The higher the transmission line loss, the more the SWR will read artificially low
2. The higher the transmission line loss, the more the SWR will read artificially high
3. The higher the transmission line loss, the more accurate the SWR measurement will be
4. Transmission line loss does not affect the SWR measurement
