You can't measure phase or magnitude?

I simply cannot differentiate what part of the forward wave has been
reflected back from the source Vs what part is actually generated
by the source. That's the crux of the problem.

Hi Cecil,

But since the impedance presented
to the reflected waves by the transmitter is usually unknown
You have a forward part from the transmitter,
a reverse part from the reflection.

What more do you need unless you are discarding phase? If so, recover
it (if this is all about a SWR meter, then take out the diodes and use
a comparator).
