Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
phase constant
a constant, which is generally complex, that is important in the study of electromagnetic waves. The phase constant is equal to the frequency of excitation of the wave times 2 times pi times the square root of the product of the permeability and the permittivity of the medium that the wave is traveling in. Also called propagation constant or wavenumber.
