Default "Non-dissipative Source Resistance"

To Richard Fry,

Richard, it appears that you have ignored my post where I reported
data that proves the output resistance of Class B and C RF amps
is non-dissipative.


I know your conclusion, thanks Walt.

The impedance of a perfect transmission line also is non-dissipative,
but that does not change the power dissipated in a termination of that
transmission line equaling its Zo.

Do you agree that the Mendenhall paper I have quoted shows that the
source impedance of an operating Class C vacuum tube PA and its output
tuning/matching network designed for a 50 ohm load is not, by itself,
a functional 50+j0 ohms?
