Gene needs to tell us how the TV modulation that
causes ghosting makes its predictable round trips
to the source and back without the aid of the
reverse traveling wave.


Cecil,

It is interesting that you can be so precise at times and so sloppy at
other times. I very carefully limited my discussion to steady state
conditions, which is what everyone is already talking about in this
case. You then conveniently inject modulation into the mix, completely
ignoring what I said.

Do the math and show us how my comment is in error. Add the two
traveling waves and see if you get the summation to be precisely a
standing wave plus a residual forward traveling wave. Go back and reread
your quoted references and try to figure out if anything I said is
different from your gurus.

73,
