Default Analyzing Stub Matching with Reflection Coefficients

I guess I may have been 'intuiting' too much, myself. Since virtual
shorts and opens only appear in the steady state, I wouldn't expect
pulses to reflect off of them. I don't expect sine waves to reflect
off of them in steady state either for that matter, but that remains a
point of contention apparently.

Actually Jim, virtual shorts etc. act the same for pulse systems as for
CW systems. The classic case is the rotating joint in radar systems.
