A few observations


I don't think I've ever seen an SWR curve like that either, that's interesting.  Or so many particular aspects/characteristics/parameters displayed at the same time.

I think that by displaying all of those 'aspects' on the same graph that there are some conclusions that can be drawn.  The first conclusion I would make is that this display only pertains to one particular and specific antenna set up.  It means that conclusions can only be drawn about this one specific instance.

Another conclusion is that all of the 'aspects' affect each others behavior.  I think that's about as 'normal' as it gets.  There are a number of general conclusions that can be drawn/inferred from all of this information, it depends only on how 'well' you can integrate particular aspects of each 'piece' of information and how it relates to other 'pieces' at some particular 'time'/'place' on the graph.  All of those 'inferences' are only going to be 'true' for this one set up though.  So if you want to come up with a really good set of 'rules' for some particular 'aspect'/measured quantity out of this, then there are going to have to be a large number of other graphs done for other 'set ups'.  'Mix' all of those measurements, strain for particular aspects of the mix, and you have the 'dead nutz', typical way of coming to a scientific theory of operation.  All things considered, that ought'a keep you busy for the next day/week/month/year/century or two, you think?

ooooo, that doesn't even touch on all the incorrect conclusions you'll come to because something else wasn't considered/added to that 'mix'.  Glad it's you and not me!
