the series stubbing appears in Reflections, Chapter 23, with

As I said in the previous post, the experts were referring to the
output of the RF amp as not establishing a reflection coefficient rho
= 1.0, which has put me in a corner.

Hi Walt,

How so? *(What is the corner?)

The corner I'm in, Richard, is that In Reflections 3, Chapter 25, I
assert that Steve Best's Eq 8 in the first part of his three-part
article appearing in QEX is invalid, because it gives incorrect
answers when I plug in what I believe are correct values of reflection
coefficients. Yet his equation agrees with that of Johnson on Page 100
of his "Transmission Lines" text book. In addition, a mathematics
expert whom I respect says Best's equation is correct. So I've got to
make the decision whether to delete my criticism of his equation or
leave it in and be accused of criticizing him incorrectly. What to do!
