Reflection coefficient from load and surge impedance¶

Knowing the load impedance and the surge impedance of the transmission line, it is possible to calculate the reflection coefficient.

reflection_coefficient¶: reflection_coefficient.

Symbol:: Gamma
Latex:: \(\Gamma\)
Dimension:: dimensionless

load_impedance¶: Load electrical_impedance.

Symbol:: Z_L
Latex:: \(Z_\text{L}\)
Dimension:: impedance

surge_impedance¶: surge_impedance of the transmission line.

Symbol:: Z_S
Latex:: \(Z_\text{S}\)
Dimension:: impedance

law¶

Gamma = (Z_L - Z_S) / (Z_L + Z_S)

Latex:: \[\Gamma = \frac{Z_\text{L} - Z_\text{S}}{Z_\text{L} + Z_\text{S}}\]
