Reflection Coefficient

The reflection coefficient quantifies the ratio of reflected to incident wave amplitude at an interface, a fundamental concept with applications across diverse fields. Current research focuses on accurately estimating reflection coefficients in various contexts, including improving localization techniques using intelligent surfaces and deep learning models like LSTM and ensemble methods for enhanced signal processing. This improved understanding of reflection coefficients is crucial for applications ranging from non-destructive testing of electronic components to advanced acoustic metamaterial characterization and precise beamforming in communication systems. The development of robust algorithms for extracting reflection coefficients from complex signals is driving progress in these areas.
