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. Even the table Rick
cited shows a negative value for return SWR.

OH! I see your problem. You think the column heading dashes are minus
signs. They are not. Loss - dB indicates that the column data have the
units of dB, not that they are negative. I usually use Loss (dB) for my
column headings.
