  2. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    The RF Toolbox add-on to MATLAB [26] and several books (for example "Network scattering parameters" [27]) use this last definition, so caution is necessary. The "From S to T" and "From T to S" paragraphs in this article are based on the first definition. Adaptation to the second definition is trivial (interchanging T11 for T22, and T12 for T21 ...

    Meaning SI unit of measure alpha: alpha particle: angular acceleration: radian per second squared (rad/s 2) fine-structure constant: unitless beta: velocity in terms of the speed of light c: unitless beta particle: gamma: Lorentz factor: unitless photon: gamma ray: shear strain: radian

  4. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    The agreement of the other field with the red arrows reveals an alternative definition of the sign convention: that a positive reflection or transmission coefficient is one for which the field vector in the plane of incidence points towards the same medium before and after reflection or transmission.

  5. Talk:Reflection coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Reflection_coefficient

    If you accept that the reflection coefficient is equivalent to the S11 scattering parameter of the load, and that Z0 is the impedance the load sees looking out of its port, i.e. the source impedance, then the formula as written contradicts the definition of S11 (see Scattering_parameters). S11 is defined as b1/a1; a1 is defined as (1/2) K1 (V1 ...

  6. Reflection coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_coefficient

    In physics and electrical engineering the reflection coefficient is a parameter that describes how much of a wave is reflected by an impedance discontinuity in the transmission medium. It is equal to the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected wave to the incident wave, with each expressed as phasors .

  7. S-matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-matrix

    In physics, the S-matrix or scattering matrix is a matrix that relates the initial state and the final state of a physical system undergoing a scattering process.It is used in quantum mechanics, scattering theory and quantum field theory (QFT).

  8. Stokes parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_parameters

    The Stokes I, Q, U and V parameters. The Stokes parameters are a set of values that describe the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation.They were defined by George Gabriel Stokes in 1851, [1] [2] as a mathematically convenient alternative to the more common description of incoherent or partially polarized radiation in terms of its total intensity (I), (fractional) degree of ...

  9. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    where n is the refractive index, λ is the wavelength, A, B, C, etc., are coefficients that can be determined for a material by fitting the equation to measured refractive indices at known wavelengths. The coefficients are usually quoted for λ as the vacuum wavelength in micrometres. Usually, it is sufficient to use a two-term form of the ...
