Funny how they can heat resistors both at the load end and at the source end when the source is equipped with a circulator+load. Not surprising. The energy comes from the source. Incidentally, I've come up with a proof that there are no reflections at a voltage null in a homogeneous transmission line. Consider a 50 ohm lossless feedline. At a voltage null - rho = (50-50)/(50+50) = 0 i.e. no reflections in either direction That's what you get when you use the surge impedance and compute surge rho. Try steady state impedance for steady state rho. rho = (0-50)/(0+50) = -1 as expected ....Keith |
