reflection loss [ri′flek·shən ‚lȯs]
(electricity)
Reciprocal of the ratio, expressed in decibels, of the scalar values of the volt-amperes delivered to the load to the volt-amperes that would be delivered to a load of the same impedance as the source.
Apparent transmission loss of a line which results from a portion of the energy being reflected toward the source due to a discontinuity in the transmission line.

[FIGURE 2 OMITTED] Thus the packet is dropped after K reflections, which is modeled in terms of acceptable quality q and reflection loss [alpha] as a function of log (q-[alpha]).
In addition to the localization, the via-hole geometry has to be optimized to have minimal reflection loss over all frequency bands of interest to minimize the effect of resonances created by reflections between via holes.
