- skrf.tlineFunctions.load_impedance_2_reflection_coefficient(z0, zl)[source]
Reflection coefficient from a load impedance.
Return the reflection coefficient for a given load impedance, and characteristic impedance.
For a transmission line of characteristic impedance \(Z_0\) terminated with load impedance \(Z_l\), the complex reflection coefficient is given by,
\[\Gamma = \frac {Z_l - Z_0}{Z_l + Z_0}\]- Parameters:
z0 (number or array-like) – characteristic impedance
zl (number or array-like) – load impedance (aka input impedance)
- Returns:
gamma – reflection coefficient
- Return type:
number or array-like
