Hey, I've got it. It's sort of a "virtual reflection coefficient". Now I
understand fully. Thanks! Roy Lewallen, W7EL W5DXP wrote: . . . The energy analysis on my web page deals only with physical reflection coefficients. If 'rho' is not a physical reflection coefficient, then it is the END RESULT of a mathematical calculation and is not the CAUSE of anything. If a source doesn't "see" a physical impedance discontinuity, it doesn't "see" anything except forward and reflected waves. Coherent waves traveling in opposite directions are "unaware" of each other. Coherent waves traveling in the same direction merge, lose their separate identies, and become indistinguishable from one another. |
