The antenna (or coax) does not get warmer because of mismatch loss.


Sounds like a confusing play on words to me.

IF (the greater the mismatch loss) THEN (the higher the SWR) is TRUE
AND
IF (the higher the SWR) THEN (the greater the heat loss in the transmission line) is TRUE
THEN (the greater the mismatch loss, the greater the heat loss in the transmission line). LOGIC 101
