Default Transmitter Output Impedance

I calculate it as 100w. 100/111.11 = 0.9000.


Yes, Walt, 100/111.11 = 0.9.

But a transmitter generating 100W does not deliver 111.11 watts in the
original incident wave arriving at a load VSWR of 2:1 w.r.t a lossless
transmission line used to convey that power. It delivers only 100W.

Of that 100W, 88.889W is absorbed by the load, and 11.111W is
reflected back to the source.

THAT is where the 88.889W comes from.

Also note that 0,9 does not equal 0.8889.
