Did you really write that? The standing waves are a consequence of a
standing wave ratio of greater than 1:1?
As VSWR is a consequence of an impedance mismatch, yes.
You keep ignoring or failing to understand that part.
No matter what you call it, a value of greater than 1:1 indicates an
IMPEDANCE mismatch.
If the equations that describe VSWR were discovered by Dr. Snagpuss and
the effect were named after him, then the statement would be that
a Snagpuss greater than 1:1 causes standing waves on a transmission line.
An IMPEDANCE mismatch on a TRANSMISSION LINE results in standing waves.
It is irrelevant what you call the value, only the value itself is of
any importance.
