Reflection and Transmission Coefficients (Pressure)<br />

• This difference in Z is commonly referred to as the impedance<br />

mismatch.<br />

• The value produced is known as the reflection coefficient. Multiplying<br />

the reflection coefficient by 100 yields the amount of energy reflected as a<br />

percentage of the original energy.<br />

• the transmission coefficient is calculated by simply subtracting the<br />

reflection coefficient from one.<br />
