Hi Jeff,

Your appologies aside, it is the convention you are disagreeing with.
The injection of such terminology as
'transmitted' power
is not part of conventional usage in this discussion. The trap here
of inventing terms is that your term would not account for Ohmic loss
as either forward or reverse power in the balance sheet (and this loss
could well be the source of mismatch); and yet this loss would have a
definite impact on what is "transmitted."

A simple instance proves this. Add a 14 Ohm resistor in series at the
feed to a perfect quarterwave radiator. The reverse reading would be
nada, the forward reading would NOT be "transmitted" power. Further,
the conventional usage of terms seen in this thread would still be
accurate.
