Sour grapes, or what?

As I said, the reflection coefficient at '+' can be calculated
accurately using just the characteristic impedances, as shown by Born
and Wolf.

Or you could use s-parameters. Why does it bother you so much that
there might be another way to do it? I suspect they're really one in
the same.

It's obvious you didn't comprehend the difference between
s11=(Z1-Z0)/(Z1+Z0) and rho=s'11=Vref/Vfwd, at least for
awhile. Anyone can copy equations out of a book while maintaining
a misunderstanding of a definition. There is no problem with the
equations. The only problem is with the correspondent's definitions
and it is a minor one that is easy to fix just by getting the
definitions correct.
