Default Dipole with standing wave - what happens to reflected wave?

"Owen Duffy" wrote:
You talk of the "reflected wave" as if it has inertia, that it must
keep travelling when it reaches the junction of the feedline and the
antenna? You are not alone in speaking that way, but thinking that way
will get in the way of understanding what is happening. Next thing,
you will be thinking that the reflected wave must travel back to the
PA anode and will be absorbed there causing overheating.

If you write of reflected power existing on the transmission line between
the tx output connector and the antenna input connector, then yes -- with
sufficient tx output power and a poor enough match at the antenna feedpoint,
that reflected power can cause transmission line and/or tx PA component
failure.

I've analyzed and repaired many such failures of these installed systems in
my pre-retirement career, and know this first hand. Conventional theory
also supports this result.
