There is indeed no net increase in real average power. However, "magnification" seems to be a poor choice of words since its definition contains such words as "apparent", "seems", "exaggerate", "overstate", ... "magnify - to cause to *seem* greater" certainly describes a feedline with 100W source power and 200W forward power. But there is still only 100W available to do the damage. True, but a 100W laser can do a lot of damage. :-) And a *magnifying* glass can start a fire. I have no intention of allowing *that* particular fire to start again! -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK 'In Practice' columnist for RadCom (RSGB) http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek |
