Term: complex current reflection factor
Synonym1: complex current reflection coefficient (deprecated)
[Preferred]
Synonym2:
Synonym3:
Symbol: rI
Definition: ratio of the phasor representing the reflected electric current to the phasor representing the incident current at a port of an electric network or close to a discontinuity in a transmission line

NOTE 1 – When impedances can be defined, the complex current reflection factor equals:

r _ I = Z _ Z _ Z _ + Z _ MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbbjxAHX garuavP1wzZbItLDhis9wBH5garmWu51MyVXgaruWqVvNCPvMCG4uz 3bqee0evGueE0jxyaibaieYdi9WrpeeC0lXdi9qqqj=hEeeu0lXdbb a9frFj0xb9Lqpepeea0xd9s8qiYRWxGi6xij=hbba9q8aq0=yq=He9 q8qiLsFr0=vr0=vr0db8meaabaGacmGadiWaaiWabaabaiaafaaake aadaadaaqaaKqzafGaamOCaaaakmaaBaaaleaacaWGjbaajugqbeqa aiabg2da9OWaaSaaaeaadaadaaqaaKqzafGaamOwaaaacqGHsislkm aamaaabaqcLbuacaWGAbaaaiaadEcaaOqaamaamaaabaqcLbuacaWG AbaaaiabgUcaROWaaWaaaeaajugqbiaadQfaaaGaam4jaaaaaaa@47D2@

where Z is the characteristic impedance of the transmission line ahead of the discontinuity or the impedance of the source, and Z′ is the impedance after the discontinuity or the load impedance seen from the junction between the source and the load.

NOTE 2 – The term "complex current reflection factor" may be shortened by omitting the qualifier "complex" in an appropriate context.
