Propagation Delay vs Physical Length

Formel

## Transmission Line Propagation ### Formulas **v = c x VF** (propagation speed) **Delay = Length / v** **Electrical Length = 360 x Length / wavelength_in_line** Transmission line effects matter when the line is a significant fraction of the wavelength (typically > 1/10).

Lösungsbeispiel

10 m coax (VF = 0.66) at 100 MHz.

  1. 01Speed = 299.792 x 0.66 = 197.86 Mm/s
  2. 02Delay = 10 / 197860000 = 50.5 ns
  3. 03Wavelength in line = 197.86 / 100 = 1.979 m
  4. 04Electrical length = 360 x 10 / 1.979 = 1819 degrees

Häufig Gestellte Fragen

When do transmission line effects matter?

When the line length exceeds about 1/10 of the wavelength. At 100 MHz with VF=0.66, this is about 20 cm.

What happens at quarter-wavelength?

A quarter-wave line transforms impedance: Z_in = Z0^2 / Z_load. This is used for impedance matching.

What is velocity factor?

The ratio of signal speed to the speed of light. Determined by the dielectric material surrounding the conductors.
