"George, W5YR" wrote in message ...
Finally, he clearly shows how terminating an actual physical line appropriately can result in a reflection coefficient as large as 2.41. This revelation DOES NOT imply that the reflected wave would bear more power than the incident wave. For a line to display this behavior, it must first of all have a high attenuation per wavelength. Due to this high attenuation, the power in the reflected wave is high for only a short distance from the termination. George, with all due respect, even if the SWR measurement was done right at a short or open, the highest rho you could get would be 1. If the power reflection coefficient is the square of the MAGNITUDE of the voltage reflection coefficient, how can you have a voltage RC greater than one without the power RC being also greater than one??
