electric length - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

-- Anecdotes, Gripes & Humor

electrical length of what? If it is well matched and well behaved, like a transmission line, you can figure out the group delay passing thru it by looking at angle[s21].

Td=delta phase/delta frequency

ang[s21] at 1 ghz = -20 degrees
angl[s21] at 1.1 ghz = -25 degrees

Td=(25-20)/((360 deg/cycle)*100MHz) = 138 pS electrical length
