Maybe I'm going nuts but I ran across this in Carr's book" Practical
Antenna Handbook". The formula is givin for the reflection coefficient
as Load impedence minus Characteristic impedence divided by load
impedence plus char. impedence. R=Z_l -Z_o / Z_l+Z_o. He then gives
an example of a 50 ohm transmission line terminated in a 30 ohm
resistive impedence and says this ...R=50-30/50+30 without any sign
change in R. Shouldn't it be R= 30 -50/30+50 as 30 is the load?
I would just ignore this as errata but I've seen this same mistake
in several books so it makes me wonder if I'm missing something
simple? thanks
