On page 99 of Terman`s 1955 edition of "Electronic and Radio
Engineering" (my textbook was an earlier edition) is found the formula
to convert the reflection coefficient into SWR or vice versa. These two
parameters are innexorably locked together by formulas (4-22a) and
(4-22b).
Richard, formula 4-22b calculates the magnitude of the reflection
coefficient from SWR. It is not possible to calculate the reflection
coefficient (as you say) in the general sense since you lack the phase
information.
