The SWR is based on the ratio of the
forward to the reflected power.

Exactly! And (in a linear, time-invariant system at steady-state,
with enough forward power to be interesting,) that ratio does not
depend on where the forward power comes from; it's determined by the
load attached to the line and the line itself. (I trust we ARE
talking about a situation with only one source, feeding only one end
of the line...)

Someone sed:

"The SWR is based on the ratio of the forward to the reflected power."

But this isn't the *definition* of SWR.

Trivia question: What is the definition of SWR?

There is NO definition of SWR!!

There is a definition for VSWR!

There is a definition of ISWR!

But, unfortunately, there is NO definition for SWR!! Why don't you
offer one?

You must not have seen my posting yesterday on this thread, where I gave
the definition. Do I need to post it again?

Oh, Jack, that's not a _trivia_ question, that's a _TRICK_ question! :-)
