This tool converts the Reflection Coefficient (Γ) into Return Loss (RL) in decibels. It’s used to evaluate how much power is reflected due to impedance mismatch in an RF system.
Formula
RL = -20 * log10(Γ)
Formula Explanation
- Γ (Gamma) represents the reflection coefficient, a ratio of reflected to incident voltage.
- Return Loss (RL) shows how well a load matches its transmission line — higher RL means a better match.
Example
Input: Γ = 0.316
Output: RL = 10 dB
Who uses it
Helpful for RF and antenna engineers analyzing return loss in cables, antennas, and other RF components.
