Default Current through coils

We may understand the results of Tom's latest

I am not sure I understand this. As I understand an S parameter tester,
both source and load are 50 ohms. Tom says he fed and monitored the
signal with a pair of current transformers.


I don't think he fed the coil with a current transformer.
I think he simply had the coil across the signal generator's
output terminals with current pickup devices at each end
of the coil. The above diagram doesn't change anything
about his configuration but does point out the conceptual
mistake he made which is the identical conceptual mistake
that he and Roy have been making for years. Their model
presupposes their measured results. How could their
results be anything else?
