You said return loss increases with lower SWR. It does not.


It does.


Sorry, a lower SWR does not increase the amount of loss.

Please cite a reliable reference that says it does.



From the ARRL:

"9) D -- Higher positive values of Return Loss (RL) in dB indicate less
power returning from a load, indicating a lower SWR."
