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...

Length Units Conversions |
The most common
definition of length is that it is the measurement of the extent of something along its greatest dimension. That,
of course, is for physical entities. Length is also used to describe passing of time, but that is not covered here
(unless you are measuring the length of a timeline chart).
Standard
