RF Propagation Time Calculator

Inputs

Outputs

This calculator determines the time it takes for an RF signal to travel a specific distance.

EXAMPLE:

  • INPUTS: Range = 5 Km
  • OUTPUTS: Propagation time = 16.67 µs

RF Propagation Time Formula or Equation

The following formula is used to calculate RF propagation time:

RF propagation time formula

Where:

  • t = Propagation time in seconds
  • d = Range or distance in meters
  • c = Speed of light (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s)
