A CLC pi filter doesn't know the difference between:
1. 100 Ohms lumped circuit load
2. RC = +0.33333 (for 50 Ohms reference)
3. VSWR = 3 (voltage minimum, for a 300 Ohms reference)
It seems you don't want to notice that.
It is not worth wasting my time to notice since *everyone* already
knows that a CLC pi filter is not alive and doesn't have a brain so it
must necessarily be dumb as a dead stump. You, OTOH, hopefully being
smarter than the average CLC pi filter, should know that the
conditions existing within a resistor are different from the
conditions existing within an antenna with the same feedpoint
impedance. Hint: If you don't know what is in the box, alleviate your
ignorance by looking inside the box. If you put on the blinders and
refuse to look, then you will make errors like you did earlier while
measuring an s11 of zero when it was actually 0.3333.
Even the L of the CLC filter, you can model with a lumped circuit
equivalent with more than sufficient accuracy.
When the task is to determine the exact delay through the inductor,
how the heck can the lumped circuit model tell you that?
