This cannot be directly solved for because it is a complex quantity. In order to
solve for additional values of load reflection coefficient are required with a
phase difference of approximately 120
o
. However an approximate solution using
two values of can give adequately accurate results provided the phase angle
of the source is within ±40
o
of 0
o
or ±180
o
.
