Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

Don't be so modest.

You have also claimed that for an amplifier which can
be modelled as a Thevenin or Norton equivalent circuit,
the output impedance can not be used to derive the
reflection coefficient.

You have claimed that the only way to prevent a
re-reflection at a generator is to use a circulator;
a 10 cent resistor will never do.

You have claimed that energy can cross a point on
the line where V or I is always 0.

You have claimed that there is great importance
to the terms "Traveling-Wave Current" and
"Standing-Wave Current" (the title of this thread).

And there were more that escape my memory.
