In principle there is nothing wrong with attempting a traveling-wave
analysis for a loaded whip. Done correctly, it will give the right
results that join up seamlessly with circuit theory as well.

One of the tests the traveling wave analysis must pass is that the
results from forward current wave excitation plus the results from
reverse current wave excitation must equal the results from excitation
by the sum of the two, i.e., the total current. This is required by
superposition, whether the network is lumped or distributed.


Cecil claims I'm the ONLY one who disagrees with him!

Richard C., Ian, Roy, Gene, and Tom D. also appear to not be on Cecil's
team.

The only thing those people have in common is a desire to get the facts
right... and physical reality allows no compromises.
