Understanding return loss
Impedance mismatch/discontinuity between the transmission line/cable to the connected load/component leads to a small amount of incident signal power reflect back to the source. The return loss of a system is defined as the ratio of incident power to reflected power and is measured in dB. High return loss means low reflected power, so high return loss is good for a system.
This online reflection coefficient to return loss calculator calculates the return loss (dB) by entering the reflection efficient Γ (= value between 0 & 1).
