Propagation Constant

The Propagation Constant is a complex parameter in wave propagation theory that characterizes the rate of attenuation and phase shift per unit length along a transmission medium, distinguishing it from other transmission parameters by its specific role in describing the exponential behavior of voltage or current waves in lossy or dispersive systems such as transmission lines, optical fibers, and conducting media.
