-um, OK-

I find negative propositions a bit oblique, what DOES it imply?


I was responding to your words:

"I will at this point re quote Chipman to roughly this scenario (being
more general, he didn't specify the reflection).

"At the signal source end of the line ... none of the power
reflected by the terminal load impedance is re-reflected on
returning to the input end of the line."
The ellipsis reveals that the source Z matches the line Z."

I disagree that the conditions that exist in the steady state at the
source end of the line imply in the general case, matching in the Jacobi
Maximum Power Transfer Theoram sense.
