Modify what I believe to be a correct analysis in order to satisfy your
view of reality? You must be kidding again -- sometimes it's hard to tell.

Somehow I expected that an alternative analysis or any specific
correction wouldn't be forthcoming. I'm glad you've got it all sorted
out in your own mind, Cecil.

I'll now bow out, unless a coherent alternative analysis, or specific
corrections to the one I posted, are presented.

Nowhere in my analysis is s11, s12, or s22 mentioned. I don't consider
s12 or s22 to be anything at all, and don't make any claim whatsoevera
about what they are or aren't.


Those are the reflection and transmission coefficients that represent
the effect the forward waves have on the reflected waves and vice versa.
You said your analysis included that effect so you are performing an
s-parameter-like analysis whether you realize it or not.

Which step or steps of my analysis is/are incorrect? And in terms of
voltages, currents, and powers, why?


Please publish your four term power equation and I will show you exactly
what is wrong. Please don't say rP and fP in that equation but show
the voltage, current, and impedance terms that make up what you think is
rP and fP. Hint: rP is not the total reflected power that you think
it to be. Neither is fP.
