Inner Reflection Coefficient Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Reflection Coefficient (RC) is:

$RC = \frac{Zl - Zo}{Zl + Zo}$

Where:

Reflection Coefficient (RC): A measure of how much of a wave is reflected by an impedance discontinuity in the transmission medium.
Load Impedance (Zl): The impedance presented by the load connected to the transmission line.
Characteristic Impedance (Zo): The impedance that, when connected to the end of a transmission line of infinite length, results in no reflection of the signal.

Let's say the load impedance (Zl) is 75 ohms and the characteristic impedance (Zo) is 50 ohms. Using the formula:

$RC = \frac{75 - 50}{75 + 50}$

We get:

$RC \approx 0.20$

So, the reflection coefficient is approximately 0.20.
