GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA: VELOCITY OF PROPAGATIOn
GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA: VELOCITY OF PROPAGATIOn
Velocity of propagation is the speed of the transmitted signal as compared to the speed of light and is inversely proportional to the square root of the dielectric constant. Material with a lower dielectric constant will yield a higher velocity of propagation. Such low-density dielectrics will offer lower attenuation, particularly at higher frequencies (see Cable Types).]
