In this case, the phase of Γ is 180∘, and therefore, the potential of the reflected wave cancels the potential of the incident wave at the open circuit, making the total potential ...In this case, the phase of Γ is 180∘, and therefore, the potential of the reflected wave cancels the potential of the incident wave at the open circuit, making the total potential equal to zero, as it must be. Since the current reflection coefficient is −Γ=+1 in this case, the reflected current wave is in phase with the incident current wave, and the magnitude of the total current at the short circuit non-zero as expected.
