powerflux_from_prx

pycraf.conversions.powerflux_from_prx(prx, freq, grx)

Power flux density from received power.

Power flux density and received power are linked via effective antenna area (which is propotional to receiving antenna gain).

Parameters:

prxQuantity

Received power [dB_W, W]

freqQuantity

Frequency of radiation [Hz]

grxQuantity

Gain of receiver, Grx [dBi, dimless]

Returns:

powerfluxQuantity

Power flux density [W/m**2]

Notes

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