The same thing can be accomplished, above, using an open stub and

though, because line loss will skew the results. Besides, why try to
measure current or voltage when all you have to do is measure length
and frequency?

Tom, you are not going to understand what I am saying until
you perform the stub exercise I provided. Just do one at a
time. Assume ideal lossless conditions with VF=1.0.

---600 ohm line---+---10 deg 100 ohm line---open

How many degrees of 600 ohm line does it take to make the
above stub look like 1/4 wavelength, i.e. 90 degrees?

Until you perform the exercise, you are just creating
diversions and avoiding the technical truth.

If you know how to do it, Cecil, don't be coy about it. Just state
your case and be done with it. Since you already stated that
the total electrical length is 90 degrees, you're just asking me
to prove your point. Do it yourself, and then I'll tell you
whether I agree with you or not.
