It is well known that (-1)^2 = +1. You sometimes quote Johnson as a
reference. From Johnson, section 1.6, page 16: "The ratio 'k' is called
the reflection coefficient." "The terminating impedance is zero at this
end, provided the internal resistance of the generator is negligible;
hence for the generator end"

the reflection coefficient, "k(g) = -Z0/Z0 = -1"
