I tried to explain that each
reflection is only partial, but each wavefront subsequently experiences
multiple reflections - each time reduced in amplitude by a factor of
rho1*rho2 per round trip. And, that the total amplitude equals the sum
of all previous undamped reflections, which happens to equal the 100%
number. That's what is in the textbooks I referred to you. It's also
what Walt explains in his 1/4 wave transformer diagrams.

That is also what I have been saying and nothing I have said disagrees
with anything above. I have not introduced anything new. I have merely
tied a couple of loose ends together by bringing some well understood
concepts over from optics to RF engineering. Wave interference indeed
can cause a redistribution in the direction of energy flow. Wave
cancellation doesn't just happen one time and it's over. Wave
cancellation is a continuous steady-state process and continues
until the source is shut down. It appears to me that is what you may
be missing.

If the truth is a vulgar obscenity to you, then I guess I might rightly
be accused of "hurling" that at you.

There's a mild example of your mind-f__king ways, Jim. I knew it
would only be a matter of time until you pulled that crap again.
You don't seem to be able to help yourself. So have you stopped
beating your wife yet?
