A) An impedance mismatch
NJ2X Notes:
Amateur radios require an impedance match of 50-ohms in the coaxial cable, antenna, or any other device connected. A mismatch between the radio and any of the devices in the chain will cause a greater than 1:1 (perfect match) SWR.
SWR is an abbreviation of standing-wave ratio. SWR on a transmission line in an antenna system represents the ratio of forward to reflected voltage on the line. A perfect 1:1 ration occurs when all parts of the antenna system are matched correctly to one another.
