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


It does.


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


It increases the amount of loss that is reflected. Hence, return loss.

Please cite a reliable reference that says it does. Even the table Rick
cited shows a negative value for return SWR.


No, the table is correct and does not show negative values for return
loss. What is return SWR?



No, a 1:1 SWR has no reflection, therefore no reflective loss.

And yes, it does show negative values. Don't you see the '-' sign?
