How can I understand "reflection coefficient" for a certain circuit?
I'm a beginner in RF circuit, though I've learned something about low frequency oscillator design, some new concepts still confuse me a lot, like the "reflection coefficient".
I google it and found the definition of "reflection coefficient" on wiki,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_coefficient"
but the definition of it for a certain circuit (like the figure with Vs,Zs,ZL in wiki) is still quite confusing for me >_<
Any one can explain how Gamma=(ZL-Zs)/(ZL+Zs) represents the "ratio of the electric field strength of reflected wave to that of incident wave"?
Gamma=E-/E+ , Gamma=(ZL-Zs)/(ZL+Zs)
none by far, I'm a beginner just for a simple concept explanation...
