Rules of Thumb
-
Bandwidth of a signal: BW = 350/tr , where BW is the bandwidth in MHz and tr is the risetime in nanoseconds
-
10-90% risetime = 1.33 times the 20-80% risetime
-
Wavelength at 100 MHz = 120 inches; at 1 GHz = 12 inches; at 5 GHz = 2.4 inches
-
Speed of high-speed signals » 1 foot/nsec in air and 6 inches/nsec in FR-4
-
Therefore, a 1nsec risetime is 6 inches long in a PCB and 12 inches long in air
