Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angular Frequency
Angular Frequency is a steadily recurring phenomenon expressed in radians per second.
Symbol: ω0
Measurement: Angular FrequencyUnit: rad/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Magnetic Permeability
Magnetic Permeability is a property of a magnetic material which supports the formation of a magnetic field.
Symbol: μ
Measurement: Magnetic PermeabilityUnit: H/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Dielectric Permittivity
Dielectric Permittivity is a diagnostic physical property which characterizes the degree of electrical polarization a material experiences under the influence of an external electric field.
Symbol: ε
Measurement: PermittivityUnit: F/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cut-off Frequency
Cut-off Frequency of rectangular waveguide defines wave propagation modes in the rectangular waveguide, and this frequency is dependent on the dimensions of the waveguide.
Symbol: fc
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: Hz

FAQs on Propagation Constant

What is the formula to find Propagation Constant?
The formula of Propagation Constant is expressed as Propagation Constant = Angular Frequency*(sqrt(Magnetic Permeability*Dielectric Permittivity))*(sqrt(1-((Cut-off Frequency/Frequency)^2))). Here is an example- 15.43994 = 5.75*(sqrt(1.3*5.56))*(sqrt(1-((2.72/55.02)^2))).
How to calculate Propagation Constant?
With Angular Frequency 0), Magnetic Permeability (μ), Dielectric Permittivity (ε), Cut-off Frequency (fc) & Frequency (f) we can find Propagation Constant using the formula - Propagation Constant = Angular Frequency*(sqrt(Magnetic Permeability*Dielectric Permittivity))*(sqrt(1-((Cut-off Frequency/Frequency)^2))). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
