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?


No. I see a hyphen, not a minus sign. It indicates that the data column
is in units of dB.
