Did you really write that? The standing waves are a consequence of a
standing wave ratio of greater than 1:1?

An IMPEDANCE mismatch on a TRANSMISSION LINE results in standing waves.

First you say the standing waves are a result of the SWR being greater
than 1:1, now you say it is a result of the impedance mismatch. I'm
*so* confused....

Are you serious?

SWR is a measure of impedance match.

A SWR greater than 1:1 indicates an impedance mismatch.

An impedance mismatch results in standing waves on a transmission line.

What is so difficult to understand about that or are you fixated on
the "SW" standing for "standing wave" in the name of the measurement?

I'm getting the impression you are being water boarded and will say
anything you think will make it end! Give us a location and we will
save you!

I'm getting the impression you are playing stupid just for the sake
of arguing.
