Related matrix context

This claim does not itself create a matrix cell. The context below belongs to Antenna reception, the phenomenon it is about.

D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.

family: Rectenna (C.28)
D.11 × C.28 · Incident radiation flux × Rectenna · Established
