Obviously he's describing the phase relationships between reflected and

one side of the boundary and destructive interference occurs on the
other side of the boundary. I agree, and I've always told you I liked
that part of your paper.


In the earlier example, the destructive interference occurs in the
direction of the source. The constructive interference occurs in
the direction of the load.

So what do you think generates the destructive interference energy?
What is the origin of the destructive interference energy that feeds
the constructive interference event? Exactly what wave components are
involved in the generation of the destructive interference energy?

In other words, how does the reflected power Poynting vector get
turned around at the Z0-match impedance discontinuity?
