Either can be positive, negative, or zero depending
on the value of the output impedance compared to Z0.

Would you please quote a reference that addresses
the subject of reflection coefficients from Thevenin
or Norton equivalent sources?

Seshardi, "Fundamentals of transmission lines and
electoromagnetic fields", page 19-21, explains
reflection diagrams and the generator is styled
after Thevenin. Page 21 says

RHOg = (Rg-R0)/(Rg+R0)

RHOg is the reflection coefficient at the generator
and Rg is the value of the output resistor. The
exposition has not yet generalized to Z so is still
in terms of R.

But do not feel limited to Seshardi. Any decent
book on transmission lines will cover the subject.

Or even easier, google ''"lattice diagram" reflection',
"reflection diagram" or "bounce diagram". You will
find many examples using Thevenin sources.

But this same information has been repeatedly provided
and ignored. Will this time be different?
