单词 reflection coefficient
释义
reflection coefficient

Electronics and Electrical Engineering
  • The vector ratio of the return current, IR, to the incident current, I0, when a transmission line is incorrectly terminated with an impedance, ZR, not equal to the characteristic impedance, Z0, of the line. The incident current is that current flowing in the line at termination when ZR is made equal to Z0; the return current is the portion of the current flowing back along the line due to incorrect matching. The actual current in the line at termination is the vector sum of IR and I0. In this case the reflection coefficient may be expressed in terms of the impedances Z0 and ZR, i.e. the reflection coefficient can be given by

    (Z0ZR)(Z0+ZR)

    Compare reflection factor.

  • 1. (R) The ratio of the amplitude of a reflected ray (A1) to that of the incoming ray (A0), such that R = A1A0. In the case of a normally incident ray, R can be expressed in terms of the acoustic impedances of the two media above and below the reflector, Z1 and Z2, so that R = (Z2Z1)/(Z2 + Z1). The range of values for R lie between −1 and +1. If R is negative a phase reversal (π‎) in the wave occurs at the reflector. For water/air R has a typical value of −1; for rocks R has an average value of 0.2 or less. See also transmission coefficient. The reflection coefficient can also be expressed in terms of energy (R′‎), when R′‎ = R2.

    2. (k) A ratio of true resistivities, such that k = (ρ‎2 – ρ‎1)/(ρ‎2 + ρ‎1), where ρ‎1 and ρ‎2 are the true resistivities above and below an interface.
