Mismatched Loss
Mismatched loss is the amount of power expressed in decibels that will not be available on the output due to impedance mismatches.
Symbol: ML
Measurement: NoiseUnit: dB
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reflection Coefficient
Reflection Coefficient is a parameter that describes how much of a wave is reflected by an impedance discontinuity in the transmission medium.
Symbol: r
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
log10
The common logarithm, also known as the base-10 logarithm or the decimal logarithm, is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function.
Syntax: log10(Number)
