I am looking at W.C. Johnson, pages 15 and 16,
Equations 1.22 through 1.25, where he shows, very
concisely and elegantly, that the reflection
coefficient is zero only when the complex
terminating impedance is identically equal to the
the complex value of Z0.

And not the complex conjugate of Z0.

This is ABSOLUTELY WRONG!

The reflection coefficient is zero only when the Zload
is the conjugate of the Zo.

Do you happen to know what particular form of dementia you are
suffering from? Could you share that with us if you do? It would
seriously help me to understand why you are persisting in this
nonsense.

Cheers,
