The *only* energy in a transmission line with standing waves is EM
energy. Standing wave energy does NOT meet the definition of EM
energy. Therefore, standing waves may be a useful math model but
that model has a built in technical contradiction when forced
upon reality.


Cecil,

Where do you get so many goofy ideas? Do you have any references at all
that support your contention that standing wave energy does not meet the
definition of EM energy? I have been in the wave business professionally
for about 40 years, and I have read many technical papers, reference
books, and text books. I have yet to encounter anything that indicated
the inferior nature of standing waves in the energy community.
