Thus, no transmission line is necessary. For example, the device can be
connected directly to the antenna terminals, or any other device you desire to
determine the mismatch, and power it directly from the signal source--no
transmission line is needed on either port for the device to indicate the degree
of mismatch.

Assume a 100+j100 ohm load and a 100-j100 ohm transmitter
directly connected with no transmission line. The system
is matched. Are there any reflections? Now install a
transmission line. Will an SWR meter read the same thing
in both cases?
