It obviously doesn't bother you that your new "forward power" isn't the
product of forward voltage and current, or that the new "reverse power" isn't the product of reverse voltage and current. But then I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

If all the waves are coherent, all forward waves superpose to one wave and all reverse waves superpose to one other wave. Your net forward power is greater than your net reflected power by the net amount of power accepted by the load. This happens locally at the load no matter what is happening elsewhere in the transmission line.

I don't see any violation of the conservation of energy principle. The power equation balances. |

But then I guess we shouldn't be surprised. I guess I will quote Aristotle on that one, Roy. A thing is what it is - It's not something else. Two directions are all that exist, forward and backwards.
