Coax Velocity Factor in Baluns, Does it Matter?Fig 3 - Electric and Magnetic fields indielectric materials define when velocity factor applies.©John Huggins
Coax velocity factor basicsThe speed at which the signal travels in a medium is normally given the designation Vp or Vg. This is the speed at which the signal travels in comparison to that of a signal travelling in free space. Thus Vp for a signal travelling at the speed of light ...
For the NLPN, increasing the value of ∣β2∣ (changing from NZDSF to SSMF) can deteriorate the NSD by a factor of almost 10 times for the same distance at 0 dBm. This effect can be justified by the increased dispersion contribution to the signal, not modelled by this solution. ...
