The question reads: A 150 ohm line is terminated by an antenna of unknown impedance. Power delivered to the antenna is 600 watts. What is the SWR on the line? How do I solve this? Dividing 150 into 600 just seems to easy although 4:1 is one of the answer choices. Thanks for the help.

I think you need the amount of reflected power to solve this one, since the impedance of the antenna is unknown. It is possible that if the antenna impedance was 150 Ohms there would be no reflected power and the SWR would be 1:1
