From your last posting it was not readily apparent
that you knew the difference between energy and power.
There is *** no reflected power wave*** but there is a
*** reflected RF energy traveling wave*** , the power of which
can be measured at a fixed point. A Bird directional
wattmeter indirectly senses the *** reflected power*** at the
fixed location of the Bird.
Cecil,
It was late, but I did not think I was dreaming. You do indeed use
energy and power interchangeably and randomly.
I will try to keep that flexibility in mind in the future.
