eff_area_from_gain

pycraf.conversions.eff_area_from_gain(gain, freq)

Effective antenna area from antenna gain, given frequency.

Parameters:

gainQuantity

Antenna gain [dBi, dimless]

freqQuantity

Frequency [Hz]

Returns:

eff_areaQuantity

Effective antenna area, A_eff [m**2]

Notes

Because all parameters/returned values are Astropy Quantities (see Quantity), unit conversion is automatically performed.
