Code 2.2: Propagation Constant and Intrinsic Impedance

Code Name: SingleMedium_PropagConst.m

Description: Code computes attenuation and phase coefficients and intrinsic impedance of a lossy or lossless medium at a specified frequency.

Input Variables:

  ε = ε' - jε'':    Dielectric constant (unitless)
  f:    frequency (Hz)

Output Products:

  α:    Attenuation coefficient (Np/m)
  β:    Phase coefficient (rad/m)
  |η|:    Magnitude of intrinsic impedance (Ω)
  Φη:    Phase angle of intrinsic impedance (degrees)
