Aerospace | 1. A measure of the amount of incident radiation which remains in a beam after it passes through a unit thickness of a medium. It is comparable in concept to the extinction coefficient (or attenuation coefficient) and is related to the extinction coefficient s as follows: t = e -s where t is the transmission coefficient. Its relationship to transmissivity r is expressed: r = tx where x is the total thickness of the medium. Compare absorption coefficient. 2. The fraction of the solar radiation normally incident upon the top of the atmosphere which survives passage through the atmosphere to the earth's surface. As so defined, a better term might be atmospheric transmissivity.3. The ratio of the sound transmitted through an interface or spectrum between two media, exposed to the sound field, to the sound energy incident on the interface or septum.Symbol t. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
1. The ratio of the transmitted field strength to the incident field strength of an electromagnetic wave when it is incident upon an interface surface between media with two different refractive indices.
2. In a transmission line, the ratio of the amplitude of the complex transmitted wave to that of the incident wave at a discontinuity in the line.
3. The probability that a portion of a communications system, such as a line, circuit, channel or trunk, will meet specified performance criteria.
Note: The value of the transmission coefficient is inversely related to the quality of the line, circuit, channel or trunk.
