Polarization Mismatch Loss
Polarization mismatch loss is the reduction in signal strength or degradation of signal quality that occurs when there is a mismatch between the polarizations of a transmission line and an antenna.
Symbol: ML
Measurement: NoiseUnit: dB
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Theta
Theta is the difference in the polarization angle between the two antennas. θ can represent the angle between two vectors or the angular position of an object.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
cos
Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Syntax: cos(Angle)
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)
