skrf.media.freespace.Freespace.gamma

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

Propagation Constant, \(\gamma\).

Defined as,

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

gamma – Propagation Constant,

Return type

npy.ndarray

Note

The components of propagation constant are interpreted as follows:

  • positive real(gamma) = attenuation

  • positive imag(gamma) = forward propagation
