gamma2z

Convert reflection coefficient to impedance

collapse all in page

Syntax

z = gamma2z(gamma)
z = gamma2z(gamma,z0)

Description

z = gamma2z(gamma) converts the reflection coefficient gamma to the impedance z using a reference impedance Z0 of 50 ohms.

example

z = gamma2z(gamma,z0) converts the reflection coefficient gamma to the impedance z by:

  • Computing the normalized impedance.

  • Multiplying the normalized impedance by the reference impedance Z0.

Examples

Open Live Script

Calculate impedance from given reference impedance and reflection coefficient values

z0 = 50;
gamma = 1/3;
z = gamma2z(gamma,z0)
z = 
100.0000

Input Arguments

collapse all

Reflection coefficient specified as a scalar.

Reference impedance, specified in scalar as ohms.

Note

z0 must be a positive real scalar or vector. If z0 is a vector, then the vector must be equal to the number of network parameter data points or frequency vector.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Impedance obtained from reflection coefficient, returned as z

Algorithms

The following equation shows this conversion:

Z=Z0*(1+Γ1−Γ)
