Aperture To Medium Coupling Loss
 

* 1.The difference between the theoretical gain of a very large antenna, such as the antennas in beyond-the-horizon microwave links, and the gain that can be realized in operation. Note 1: Aperture-to- medium coupling loss is related to the ratio of the scatter angle to the antenna beamwidth. Note 2: The very large antennas are referred to in wavelengths thus, this loss can apply to line-of-sight systems also. ( 188 )
