This is, incidentally, why isolators should be used on these runs.
This does create a problem with LNAs that are DC powered via coax, however
the reality is that many antennas and receivers do not have that great a
match to the coax impedance and could benefit from the clean up of an
isolator. (however as magnetic devices, I wonder about the delay stability
of isolators as a function of temperature)
And while on the obsessive kick, if using splitters, unused ports must be
terminated.
Group delay measurements of an RF transmission system can reveal a lot of
problems that simple loss and return loss will not catch.
