Rho can never be greater than one going into a passive
network. Only when you have an active device, or gain, can
you move outside of the unity circle on the Smith Chart.
You better raise your deflection shield.
No need to, i have the laws of physics
on my side!
Hint: Conservation of Energy!
Hint. Read Chipman section 7.6.
He states in part, "To establish that the principle of conservation of
energy is not violated on a transmission line even when the magnitude
of the reflection coefficient at a point on the line exceeds
unity......."
