One more thing. I've never seen that conjugate formula for voltage
reflection coefficient and can't imagine how it might have been derived.
I've got a pretty good collection of texts, and none of them show such a
thing.

You are absolutely correct Roy, that formula given by "Slick" is just plain
WRONG!

rho = (Z - R)/(Z + R)

Always has been, always will be.

Where does that "Slick" guy get his information? And where does "Slick" get
off with all of his "potifications"??? I dunno... *He* thinks "Besser",
"Pozar" and
ARRL are authoritative sources for transmission line technology!!!

Me?

I have made a living as a professional Engineer designing transmission
equipment over
the past four decades, currently more than $4BB gross shipped to world wide
markets,
where the Zo I used is neither real, nor a constant!

And what is more... I have never consulted any of those three authorities
referenced by
"Slick". I certainly don't think of them as being authoritative, "cream
skimmers"
perhaps, but not certainly not authoritative.

I believe that "Slick" has gotta stop "pontificating" and start reading in
better circles...
much better!
