Path: Link/RF
% Computes the link attenuation due to gas.
Assumes the signal passes through a fixed slice of atmosphere. To make
the output a gain change to sign of the output to negative. This function
is valid for frequencies between 0.3 and 50 GHz and outside of this range
it will throw an error.
