Note on the Expected Value and Standard Deviation of the Mismatch Correction
Carlo F. M. Carobbi, Marco Cati, Carlo Panconi · IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility · 2011
It is here demonstrated that the expected value of the mismatch correction is zero whatever the magnitude, small or large, of the product between the reflection coefficients of the source and the load. It is also shown that the standard deviation of the mismatch correction can be evaluated, with negligible error, by using the usual formulas derived assuming low mismatch.
