Information About

Return Loss




''Note 1:'' Return Loss is usually expressed in DB .

''Note 2:'' Return loss is a measure of the dissimilarity between impedances in metallic transmission lines and loads, or between refractive indices in Dielectric media, E.g. Optical Fiber s.

''Note 3:'' In a metallic Transmission Line , return loss is given by the following Equation , where ''Z''1 is the impedance toward the Source and ''Z''2 is the impedance toward the Load , and the Vertical bars indicate Magnitude :
