btw, for whom ever has it... i am still waiting to see the derivation of the
conjugate rho formula. i published one on here for the 'classical' version,
where is the other one???


It exists in the Kurokawa paper, "Power Waves and the Scattering Matrix".
He defines a new kind of wave, different from traveling waves, and calls
them "Power Waves". That conjugate term is apparently the result of this
new definition of waves. He says, "... when the main interest is in the
relation between various circuits in which the sources are uncorrelated,
the traveling waves are not considered as the best independent variables
to use for the analysis." Seems he is not talking about a system where
all the waves are coherent and has defined a new concept of a "Power Wave"
which includes an alternate definition of a reflection coefficient which
includes a conjugate term.
