Wave Propagation Parameters
Can also be called "Propagation constant". Somewhat misleading, as the propagation usually varies strongly.
Alternative names:
- Transmission parameters
- Propagation parameters
- Propagation coefficients
- Transmission constants
- Secondary coefficients
Propagation constant, symbol γ, is defined by the ratio between the amplitude at the source, and the amplitude at some distance x. Is a complex quantity, so we use α (attenuation constant) and β (phase constant) to define it. Attenuation constant, is the loss of signal, or attenuation of an electromagnetic wave travelling through a medium. Phase constant is the change in phase per meter, along the path travelled.
