Reflection loss
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In telecommunications, reflection loss is one of:
- At a discontinuity or impedance mismatch, e.g. in a transmission line, the ratio of the incident power to the reflected power. Reflection loss is usually expressed in dB.
- In an optical fiber, the loss that takes place at any discontinuity of refractive index, especially at an air-glass interface such as a fiber endface, at which a fraction of the optical signal is reflected back toward the source. This reflection phenomenon is also called "Fresnel reflection loss," or simply "Fresnel loss."
Bold textReflection Loss
Transmition loss of a line which inturn results in part of the energy being reflected back the the source.
