Default Where does it go? (mismatched power)

would you care to provide us with the general equation for A given a
complex load impedance and a line length other than a multiple of 90

It's simply the relative phase angle between the forward voltage and
reflected voltage at the source resistor. I trust that you can manage
that without my help.

ah, so you do have to calculate the voltages, which would requires two
transformations of the length of the coax plus calculating the
magnitude and angle of the complex reflection coefficient then adding
them all up. still sounds like more work than necessary.
