Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

I've always regarded a "standing wave" as being a description of the
envelope caused by the interference between forward and reverse
traveling waves.

If you have "Fields and Waves ..." by Ramo and Whinnery,
take a look at the equation for standing wave voltage
and current on page 285 of the 2nd edition.

Ex = E*e^j(wt-Bz) + E'*e^j(wt+Bz)

Roy, that is NOT the equation for an envelope.
