Trouble is, (Z2-Z1)/(Z2+Z1) is not always equal to Sqrt(Pref/Pfwd) What then? The equality was always iffy when you don't take the absolute value. But once you do, the equality may hold depending on the equations you use to derive Pref and Pfwd. Whether Pref or Pfwd represent something physically meaningful is another question, also dependent on how you derive them. ....Keith |

If you agree that the Pref/Pfwd ratio cannot be greater than 1 for a passive network, then neither can the [Vref/Vfwd]= rho be greater than 1 either. Sqrt(Pref/Pfwd) cannot be greater than one. (Z2-Z1)/(Z2+Z1) can be greater than one. Both are defined as 'rho' but they are not always equal. (Z2-Z1)/(Z2+Z1) is a physical reflection coefficient. Sqrt(Pref/Pfwd) is an image reflection coefficient. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
