Power waves are respectable but a writer chooses his own words.

Searching the web on topic: "power reflection on mismatched line"
yielded 12,778 hits. First two were from the physics department of the
University of Queensland in Australia. No qualms about the word "power"
are shown and sample problems are worked. Here is one statement: "Note
that the power reflection coefficient is equal to the square of the
voltage (or current) coefficient because forward or reflected waves are
in rhe same impedance."

Remarkable or not, that is the seesnce of what the Bird Electronic
Corporation says in instructions for its "Thruline Wattmeter".

Power is acceptable and accepted. Why avoid the term?
