Reflection Coefficient to Return Loss Calculator
Reflection coefficient and return loss are two key parameters that determine the impedance mismatch in any RF signal transmission. As both these parameters are similar, they can be interconverted. By entering the reflection coefficient, the return loss can be computed using this calculator.
Enter the Reflection Coefficient and click on calculate to get the Return Loss.
Note: The reflection coefficient needs to be between 0 and 1.

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).
How to convert Reflection Coefficient to Return Loss?
The following formula is used to convert the reflection coefficient to return Loss.
