This module provides a short list of utilities and complementary functions for the refractive index module.
Basic conversion from refractive index to dielectric permittivity (and viceversa) is implemented. The module also provides a conversion function from dielectric permittivity to radar dielectric factor K2 which is of great importance in radar applications

4.11.1.5.1.2. Attributes¶
- K(eps)[source]¶
Rayleigh complex dielectric factor This is basically the K complex factor that defines the Radar dielectric factor |K|**2. It is useful in Rayleigh theory to define absorption cross section from its imaginary part
- Parameters
eps (complex) – nd array of complex relative dielectric constants
- Returns
Rayleigh complex dielectric factor K
- Return type
nd - float
