Evidently then you haven't adequately familiarized yourself with the nature of the equations that you use. The last term in the following power density equation is known as the "interference term". If it is positive, the interference is constructive. If it is negative, the interference is destructive. Ptotal = P1 + P2 + 2*SQRT(P1*P2)cos(A) Ptotal = 50w + 50w + 2*SQRT(2500)cos(45) Ptotal = 100w + 100w(0.7071) = 170.71w The interference term is 70.71 watts of constructive interference indicating that there must exist 70.71 watts of destructive interference elsewhere in the system. If the constructive interference happens at an impedance discontinuity in a transmission line in the direction of the load then there must be an equal magnitude of destructive interference toward the source. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
