But, going back to the original question, wbat is Pfwd and Prev on a
line
with complex Z0?

...Keith

I'd like to know the answer to this question too!

If we are talking about only DISSIPATED power, do we have
to say P=Vrms**2/Re(Zo)? Taking only the real part of the Zo?
And if phase doesn't mean anything for power, how can we use a
complex Zo in the denominator?

And if the Pfrd originates in Zo, Prev is loaded by Zo,
then even if Zo is complex, can you still not say:

[rho]**2 = power RC? Because the Zo cancels out anyways
(a ratio)?

?????????????????????????????????????????
