load reflection coefficient
1Reflection coefficient — The reflection coefficient is used in physics and electrical engineering when wave propagation in a medium containing discontinuities is considered. A reflection coefficient describes either the amplitude or the intensity of a reflected wave… …
2Reflection seismology — (or seismic reflection) is a method of exploration geophysics that uses the principles of seismology to estimate the properties of the Earth s subsurface from reflected seismic waves. The method requires a controlled seismic source of energy,… …
3Impedance matching — In electronics, impedance matching is the practice of designing the input impedance of an electrical load (or the output impedance of its corresponding signal source) to maximize the power transfer and/or minimize reflections from the load.… …

5Scattering parameters — or S parameters are properties used in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and communication systems engineering describing the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks when undergoing various steady state stimuli by small… …
6Mismatch loss — in transmission line theory is the amount of power expressed in decibels that will not be available on the output due to impedance mismatches and reflections. A transmission line that is properly terminated, that is, terminated with the same… …
7Return loss — In telecommunications, return loss or reflection loss is the loss of signal power resulting from the reflection caused at a discontinuity in a transmission line or optical fiber. This discontinuity can be a mismatch with the terminating load or… …
8APC-7 connector — The APC 7 connector (for Amphenol Precision Connector) is a precision sexless, 7 mm, coaxial connector that was used on laboratory microwave test equipment up to 18 GHz. The connector is not suitable for modern laboratory equipment that works… …
9List of electronics topics — Alphabetization has been neglected in some parts of this article (the b section in particular). You can help by editing it. This is a list of communications, computers, electronic circuits, fiberoptics, microelectronics, medical electronics,… …
10Waveguide (acoustics) — This page is about waveguides for acoustics and sound, for other types of waveguide, see Waveguide An acoustic waveguide is a physical structure for guiding sound waves. Examples One example might be a speaking tube used aboard ships for… …
