Reflectance Magnitude

We have shown that the conical cap reflectance has no poles in the strict right-half plane. For passivity, we also need to show that its magnitude is bounded by unity for all $ s$ on the $ j\omega $ axis.

We have

$\displaystyle R_J(j\omega) = \frac{1 - e^{-2j\omega} - 2j\omega e^{-2j\omega}}{2j\omega - 1 + e^{-2j\omega}}
= e^{-2j\omega} \frac{e^{2j\omega} - 1 - 2j\omega }{e^{-2j\omega} - 1 + 2j\omega}
= e^{-2j\omega} \frac{\overline{D(j\omega)}}{D(j\omega)}
$

so that $ \left\vert R_J(j\omega)\right\vert = 1$ , which is exactly lossless, as expected.
