to realize that there is no need for a circulator.

So Tektronix can just abandon its circulator business

you going to patent your idea and get rich?

There you go. Still stuck. You really should crack the books in search
of a reference to support your contention. You won't find one.

And that is exactly why the argument has been raging for decades.
Humans have not yet acquired 100% of all knowledge. You seem to
claim that you have mastered that task but I seriously doubt it.

And the relevence of the conjugate match is that the conjugate
is the generator source impedance and it is the impedance that
the wave incident upon the generator sees.

I see you have not yet read Walter Maxwell's article. The
generator source impedance is not what is seen by the reflected
waves.

I have certainly never said that. If you could point me to the words
that misled you into thinking that, I will attempt to clarify your
misunderstanding.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I understood you to say that energy
cannot flow past an instantaneous zero energy point yet there
is an instantaneous zero energy point every 1/2WL in an EM
traveling wave.
