Let u solve the damped Klein--Gordon equation ( ∂t2-∑ ∂xj2 +m Id +γ(x) ∂t ) u=0 on ℝn with m>0 and γ≥ 0 bounded below on a 2 πℤn-invariant open set by a positive constant. We show that the energy of the solution u decays at a polynomial rate. This is proved via a periodic observability estimate on ℝn.
