edges_analysis.calibration.loss.balun_and_connector_loss(band: str, freq, gamma_ant, monte_carlo_flags=(False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False))[source]

Compute balun and connector losses.

Parameters:

  • band (str {‘low3’, ‘mid’}) – Parameters of the loss are different for each antenna.

  • freq (array-like) – Frequency in MHz

  • gamma_ant (float) – Reflection coefficient of antenna at the reference plane, the LNA input.

  • monte_carlo_flags (tuple of bool) – Which parameters to add a random offset to, in order: * tube_inner_radius * tube_outer_radius * tube_length * connector_inner_radius * connector_outer_radius * connector_length * metal_conductivity * teflon_permittivity

Returns:

  • Gb (float or array-like) – The balun loss

  • Gc (float or array-like) – The connector loss
