I started this thread late on, so I don't know what the original issue was.
However, that bit about the reflections from the matched source really threw
me. Its been a long time since I was deep into this stuff in school (it all
made good sense then) & then at work, so I have to really strain the 'ole
brain here. Some of the comments do seem to take a turn off to the side.
With a 5.8:1 with half the power reflected at the load means that the
source'll get warmer to the tune of half the power. The use of a "constant
power" source seems strange to me.
And By the Way, you CAN use a DC circuit to show some of the same
concepts.

Interesting reference. Wish I had it. He's showing re-reflections from
a Z0-matched source? I don't think I understand all I know about that.

Nope, the reference is a DC transient buildup to steady-state but the
same principles apply to RMS values.
