Let's save that discussion for later by dropping
Vs out of the example. The specific characteristics
of the source need not be known for the following
subset problem which, I believe, is the source of
our disagreement, having nothing to do with Vs.
In fact, Vs can be located one wavelength away from
Rs and steady-state conditions will be the same.
Let's take a close look at what is happening only
on each side of Rs in this previous example.
100v Vg
Gnd---Vs--x--Rs--+----45deg-50ohm---------short
The following are given:
A 100% 50 ohm environment by definition.
Reference Voltage = 100v RMS at point 'x'
Rho = 0.4472 @ 63.4 deg at point 'x'
Rho^2 = 0.2 and an ideal 50 ohm directional wattmeter
will provide the following indications.
100v Rs=50ohms Vg
------------x---/\/\/\/\/---+--------------
Pf1=125w-- Prs=100w Pf2=50w--
--Pr1=25w --Pr2=50w
These are the energy components that you say do not
balance. But I didn't see Pf1(t) or Pr1(t) in any
of your previous equations. I suggest you will
discover that the destructive interference on one
side of Rs is exactly balanced by the constructive
interference on the other side.
