D) Absorption

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is a measure of how efficiently RF power is transmitted from a power source, through a transmission line, and into the load. If there's a mismatch between the transmission line and the load, some of the power is reflected back towards the source, causing losses. This type of loss is inherent to the equipment setup and not caused by external objects or environmental factors.
