Or - recalling that what the meter actually measures is the reflection
coefficient - why not go back to the old name of "Reflectometer"?


Trouble is, during steady-state, they only measure the virtual
reflection coefficient which is itself confusing since it is not
the same as the physical reflection coefficient measured by a TDR.
