As standing wave ratio rises, so does the loss in the transmission line. This is caused by:
  • high antenna currents
  • high antenna voltage
  • leakage to ground through the dielectric
  • Correct Answer
    dielectric and conductor heat losses

Effective Radiated Power means the:
  • Correct Answer
    transmitter output power, minus line losses, plus antenna gain
  • power supplied to the antenna before the modulation of the carrier
  • power supplied to the feedline plus antenna gain
  • ratio of signal output power to signal input power
