Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current
I'm surprised that standing waves seem so hard for people to understand.
They're simply a spatial pattern formed by the interference between
forward and reflected waves or, if you prefer, from the solution to a
general transmission line problem with boundary values applied. I'd hope
that even a brief look at a text would make it clear what standing waves
are, and what they are not.
