It's not about being correct, it's about "truth" and proving the great
satan Steve wrong. When you've been flashed fried, facts don't
matter anymore. ;-)


Maxwell's equations yield answers but give no clue as to the
detailed physical process involved. Since everyone already
knows the answers, Maxwell's equations are no help at all
in explaining the 1, 2, 3, ... step-by-step process.

Here's a quote from Steve's article: "When the system reaches the
steady state, the two rearward-traveling waves at the match point
are 180 degrees out of phase with respect to each other and a complete
cancellation of both waves occurs."

I agree with that statement. But when I ask what happens to the energy
in those two cancelled waves, all I get is silence. So Richard, what
happens to the energy in those two cancelled waves? Destroyed? Bleeds
off to a parallel universe? Routed through a black hole for constructive
interference in the opposite direction? The answer is more than obvious.
Maxwell's equations tell us that all the energy in a Z0-matched system
winds up incident upon the load. That necessarily includes all the
energy in the rearward-traveling cancelled waves.
