Sorry Cecil, I can't correlate a two-port configuration using S
parameters with the problem I have.

In a one-port analysis, virtual impedances cause reflections. In a two-
port analysis, only physical impedance discontinuities cause
reflections. As I see it, that is the entire problem in a nutshell.
You are using a one-port analysis for virtually :-) all of your
analyses, including your source analysis. Your detractors are trying
to talk you into using a two-port analysis.

Cecil, as I said earlier, I can't see any relation between a two-port
configuration and the tank circuit of an RF power amp. Why are you
pushing it? Can't you just tell me whether you agree that the
reflection coefficient at the output of the tank circuit is rho = 1.0
or not. If you don't believe it does, even though it re-reflects all
the reflected power incident on it, then please explain what you
believe the reflection coefficient is at this point.
