I ended the sentence too soon. It never makes it through
the impedance discontinuity without help from somewhere.

|s11(a1)|^2 is the steady-state reflected joules/sec
that never makes it through the impedance discontinuity.

Same he It never makes it through the impedance discontinuity
without help from somewhere.

If a Z0-match exists, the above values of normalized voltage
and joules/sec do not reach the source during steady-state
because __________________________________________________ _.

What is the nature of that "help from somewhere"?
