Tom, I didn't know initially that the example was in "Reflections
III". A series stub can be used instead of a loading coil on a wire
antenna. I had never seen a series stub used in such a manner on a
transmission line and that's why I was confused. I'm assuming that the
center conductor is broken and one side is connected to the inner
conductor and one side is connected to the braid on a stub, but I am
not sure that is correct. There's got to be a less complicated example
that we can use.
