As standing wave ratio rises, so does the loss in the transmission line. This is caused by:
dielectric and conductor heat losses
Higher SWR means higher circulating currents and voltages on the line. These increased currents (conductor loss, I^2R) and voltages (dielectric loss) lead to greater power dissipation as heat in the transmission line itself, increasing overall line loss.
