I guess it's traditional. Section 3 figure 2 of the HP document from 1967
that W5DXP pointed to in post 1668 also shows a two terminal load placed
across the incident and reflected signals.
Unlike Baier, they also did this with the source on the left side.
From my rather limited understanding of what's going on, this is simply wrong.
The load should have both a2 and b2 signals from the s-box going into a single port.
We can't really assume a solid ground plane, since we are often dealing
with transmission lines here. So that single port into the load
represents the electrical return path as well.
Am I missing something?
