[TenTec] OT: SWR & Coax

[Marinus Loewensteijn]

When Coax is terminated at the transmitter end and the far end with an impedance that is equal to its defined impedance we will have a SWR of 1:1.

Only when the currents on inner conductor and on shield are equal and the current / voltage nodes coincide at the same locations then they'll cancel radiation.

If we have anything else that creates a SWR that is not 1:1 then waves will be reflected from the ends.  Hence no longer will the current and voltage nodes be coinciding. 

When nodes are no longer coinciding then we will have radiation.

What is wrong about this, what am I missing here?

Thanks, 73, marinus, ZL2ML
