If anyone is interested in really getting to the bottom of this endless
jousting, turn to page 136 of "Theory and Problems of Transmission Lines"
by
Robert A. Chipman. This is a Schaum's Outline book - mine is dated 1968.

George,

I took a course from Dr Chipman. The text he used was Adler, Chu, and Fano.
I bet he references that book.

Hi Tam,

It is the second reference and it is found on page 8. No doubt those
authors also understand that source characteristic Z must be equal to
transmission line Z to characterize SWR on the line. Of course, at
this point I cannot vouchsafe for that specifically, however, it seems
unlikely anyone here will negate the premise.
Except to say "t'ain't so." ;-)

I said "at this point" as this could be resolved (or from the other 11
references) by my visiting my engineering library at the U. This will
not prohibit others from denial however which simply mocks Chapman's
work and those he references.

I won't put the challenge I have offered others to you. You probably
would have answered it by now if you could have.
