It would appear that our author has some doubt about the statement
above to have prefaced it with "if." A grammarian would point out
that there is no corresponding "then." As this doubt is obviously a
contorted product of tension, I won't look for spelling errors that
Cecil would expect me to find.
If traveling-wave current is all that exists, EZNEC faithfully
reports the amplitude and phase of the traveling-wave current.
Again, the same nagging doubt - "if" indeed.
We can summarily answer that doubt by immediately dismissing it. There
is no such thing as standing-wave or traveling-wave current. The
statements above with the doubting "if" stripped out would read:
The current found in the solution of the standing-wave is all that
exists, EZNEC faithfully reports the amplitude and phase of that
current.
The current found in the solution of the traveling-wave is all
that exists, EZNEC faithfully reports the amplitude and
phase of that current.
Again, drilling down yields another silver plate of low hanging fruit.
