[edit] Phase constant
can anyone tell me how to find the phase constant?
- It's the imaginary part of Propagation constant (gamma) Zebov 22:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] root ZY
It is also equal to the square root of Yl* Zl myclob 22:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well you might need to define what you mean by Y1 and Z1. That is true of the transmission line if you mean the distributed series Z and shunt Y per metre but it is not true of circuits in general. Usually there will be a log, trig or hyperbolic trig function involved depending on exactly how you define everything. See for instance image impedance#Transfer function.

[edit] Merger proposal
I am proposing merging into this article attenuation constant and phase constant. All three articles are likely to remain stubs as there is little more to say on any of them. They only stand a chance of being a decent article when taken together. There is also a very large number of alternative names for these quantities, it would be good if all the redirects where to point to the same place. SpinningSpark 14:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
