Why can a lossy feeder make an antenna appear better matched than it is?
Answer: C
A reflected wave travels the length of the cable a second time, so it is attenuated twice over and the standing wave ratio measured at the transmitter is closer to unity than the one at the antenna. A very lossy cable can make a completely faulty antenna look acceptable. The cure is to measure at the antenna end or to correct for the known cable loss. Impedance transformation depends on length rather than loss, and instruments do not correct unless told the cable characteristics.
