Abstract :
It is shown that under certain circumstances the magnitude of the voltage reflection coefficient Γ can exceed unity even for a passive load. It is possible to deal with such problems on an extension of the normally used Smith chart. Two numerical examples are given as illustrations of the use of this extended chart.
