Berkeley Nucleonics Academy RF Boot Camp - RF Cafe

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...

AWG Math

According to the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system, solid wire sizes are based on a logarithmic scale, whereby doubling the cross-sectional area corresponds to a wire size decrease of 3 (like with dB). So, using two #30 wires in parallel is the equivalent to a single #27 wire, and four #30 wires in parallel is equivalent to a single #24 wire.
