Sorry, I was asking about the simple example I posted (which
doesn't have a circulator), not the problem posted by Cecil.


It was a tongue-in-cheek reply, Roy. These problems always seem to end
up with a circulator in them at some point - clearly illustrating what
happens under entirely different circumstances. :-)


Cecil imagines a circulator is a device that separates forward and
reflected waves of average power, because that is what Cecil's theory
says they must do.

In other words, Cecil's circulator is a device that takes a perfectly
straight-forward argument... and makes it circular.
