Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
load mismatch
the load impedance does not match the device output impedance, resulting in power reflection. A perfect match occurs when the real parts of the load and device output impedance are equal and the reactive parts cancel or resonate, resulting in maximum power transfer. The magnitude of the load mismatch is usually expressed in terms VSWR, reflection coefficient or return loss.
