Question 288

What happens to power lost in a feed line?

  1. It increases the SWR
  2. It is radiated as harmonics
  3. It is converted into heatCorrect answer
  4. It distorts the signal

Explanation

Feed line loss comes from conductor resistance and dielectric losses, and both dissipate energy as heat in the cable rather than radiating it. Loss does not create harmonics and, if anything, a lossy line makes measured SWR at the transmitter look lower, not higher.
