Jim, I was hoping you were capable of multiplying 100 joules/sec
by the number of seconds to get the total number of joules
delivered to the system over time by the source. My 1000 joules
after ten seconds is 100 joules/sec multiplied by ten seconds.
Is that math too difficult for you? :-)
Maybe you need a simpler example. Here it is:
100w SGCL source----one second long feedline----load
The SGCL source is a signal generator equipped with a circulator
and circulator load. The circulator load dissipates all the
reflected power incident upon the signal generator. The signal
generator outputs a constant 100 watts.
The load is chosen such that the power reflection coefficient
is equal to 0.5, i.e. half the power incident upon the load
is reflected and half accepted by the load.
This configuration reaches steady-state in 2+ seconds. After 2+
seconds, the forward wave contains 100 joules and the reflected
wave contains 50 joules. 50 watts is being dissipated by the
load and 50 watts is being dissipated by the circulator load.
The source has output 150 joules of energy that has not been
dissipated by the load or the circulator load. 150 joules is
exactly the amount of energy to support the energy levels of
the forward wave and the reflected wave.
What could be simpler than that if you really believe in the
conservation of energy principle?
