skrf.media.freespace.Freespace.gamma

property Freespace.gamma: Union[numbers.Number, Sequence[numbers.Number], numpy.ndarray]

Propagation Constant, \(\gamma\).

Defined as,

\[\gamma = \sqrt{ Z^{'} Y^{'}}\]
Returns

gamma – Propagation Constant,

Return type

numpy.ndarray

Note

The components of propagation constant are interpreted as follows:

  • positive real(gamma) = attenuation

  • positive imag(gamma) = forward propagation
