Yes, you were, Roy. That's why your results didn't agree with
mine AND the wave reflection model analysis AND the S-parameter
analysis AND the conservation of energy principle AND the
conservation of momentum principle.

Those RF waves are virtually identical to a laser beam in free
space. Where do you store the reflected energy when the reflected
wave is a light beam? An RF reflected wave *IS* a light beam, just
at a low frequency.

Why do you have to make the system more complex in order to apply
your theory?

Why are you afraid of using the correct model in order to
achieve correct results? DISTRIBUTED NETWORK THEORY IS SIMPLY
MORE COMPLEX THAN LUMPED CIRCUIT THEORY AND FOR GOOD REASON. Your
lumped circuit theory will NOT solve distributed network problems.
You have already proved that more than once in the past.

When I get snowed or when the discussion deviates from the point
in question, I do tend to not read the rest.

How do you give yourself permission to assert that your adversary
is speaking gobbledygook when you have deliberately not read his
postings?

Because the stored energy has nothing to do
with what happens to the waves of bouncing average power in steady
state, I did ignore your details about it.

This is your false premise in action. The "waves of bouncing
energy" exist precisely because of the stored energy. The
SWR circle impedance transformation depends upon those
"bounding waves". Take away the "bouncing waves" and the
feedline is incapable of transforming impedances.

No bouncing waves of average power are required;

It logically directly follows that transmission lines are
incapable of transforming impedances and all transmission
lines are therefore matched. Reminds me of your point-sized
mobil loading coils. :-)

The wave energy emerges from the source traveling at the speed of
light. A principle of physics says the momentum in that generated
wave must be conserved. Exactly where does the momentum go when
you put the brakes on the wave energy and store it in your magic
transmission line? Where do you hide the wave momentum?
