prx_from_powerflux

pycraf.conversions.prx_from_powerflux(powerflux, freq, grx)

Received power from power flux density.

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

Parameters:

powerfluxQuantity

Power flux density [W/m**2, dB_W_m2]

freqQuantity

Frequency of radiation [Hz]

grxQuantity

Gain of receiver, Grx [dBi, dimless]

Returns:

prxQuantity

Received power [W]

Notes

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