Sets the source port name for wave measurement. Incident and scattered waves are denoted by "a_(receiver port name)_(source port name)" and "b_(receiver port name)_(source port name)" respectively. On a receiver port, the a and b waves are measured using Reference receiver and Test receiver respectively. For example, to measure "b21", set WavesReceiver to Test (0), WavesReceiverPort to "port2" and set this method to "port1".
