You have created an all encompassing case from the original SWR of 1.7:1 No
tuner needed. Under these conditions, the amount of reflected energy
radiated approaches Ivory Soap.

I would disagree with your statement about SWR being absorbed in the

The reflected wave is rereflected

Hi Fred,

I've seen this thesis offered before. I generally ask, since this is
exactly the same thesis offered for a conjugate match offered by a
tuner, and a tuner is used for this very purpose (rereflecting the
mismatch), if the Transmitter already does it - What is the Tuner for?

Why do you use a tuner? What is a match? Why would anyone seek to
match a Transmitter to its load?
