These two waves continue to circulate. One in the short length of
transmission line between the mismatched load and the stub placed on the
line to correct the mismatch. The other continues to circulate in the
stub. This circulation is established during the transient period and
continues until it is disestablished. The reflection which would have
prevailed on the line between the generator and the stub junction with
the line, were the stub not there, is simply absent. The line sees a
combined load plus stub impedance at their junction of Zo.

This was confirmed at the bench by my example of a mismatched source
feeding a mismatched load (creating this characteristic of circulating
energy in a purely resistive network) illustrating the Mismatch Error
in the thread:
"The Cecilian Gambit, a variation on the Galilean Defense revisited"
This characteristic is also borne out by the necessity of having low R
components such that each successive pass of the circulating energy is
not power lost to that Ohmage.

There is no reflected wave in the line in the length between the
generator and the stub junction with the line. So, there`s no extra
energy to be accounted for.

Hi Richard,

This last point, too, has been a verity for Primary Standards Labs for
generations. Experience at the bench has been heavily discounted here
recently.
