Capacitor Reflectance

For a capacitor of $ C$ Farads, the driving-point impedance is (see §7.1.3)

$\displaystyle R_C(s)=\frac{1}{Cs} $

(or $ k/s$ for a spring with constant $ k$). Substituting into Eq.$ \,$(F.1) gives the reflectance

$\displaystyle \hat{\rho}_C(s) = \frac{R_C(s)-R_0}{R_C(s)+R_0} = \frac{1 - R_0 C s}{1 + R_0 C s} \protect$ (F.5)
