gain_from_antfactor

pycraf.conversions.gain_from_antfactor(antfactor, freq, zi)

Antenna gain from antenna factor, given frequency and impedance.

Parameters:

antfactorQuantity

Antenna factor, Ka [1/m]

freqQuantity

Frequency [Hz]

ziQuantity

Receiver impedance, Zi [Ohm]

Returns:

gainQuantity

Antenna gain [dBi, or dimless]

Notes

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