100W--50ohm--+--1/4WL 100ohm--200 ohm load
It is a 100 ohm feedline. The impedance at the + point looking toward
the load is 50 ohms. The 100 W source will see the first 50 ohms and
then the impedance at the + point. The total impedance seen by the
source is therefore 100 ohms. A 100 W source will deliver 100V to this
100 ohm combination and 50V of it will appear at the + point. Where does
the 70.707V come from?
I said: "All that matters is that the source is delivering 70.707
volts to the 50 ohm feedline." That would be at the source SO-239
terminal to PL-259 50 ohm coax junction. I did *NOT* say there is
70.7v on the Z0=100 ohm feedline. There is indeed 100 volts on the
Z0=100 ohm line.
The source is Z0 matched to 50 ohms and is
*delivering 70.707 volts and 1.414 amps to the 50 ohm coax*.
70.7/1.414=50 ohms. 70.7*1.414=100 watts.
Here is a better diagram:

Pfor1=100w, Pref1=0, Z01=50 ohms, Z02=100 ohms and 1/4WL, Load=200
ohms. Everything except the load is lossless.
I apologize if my one line diagram was confusing. It is extremely
difficult to draw ASCII schematics using a proportional font.
