Data Source and Methodology
All calculations are based on the principles outlined in "Antenna Theory" by Constantine A. Balanis. All calculations strictly use the formulas provided in this source.
The Formula Explained
Wavelength Formula: λ = c / f
where λ is the wavelength in meters, c is the speed of light (~300,000,000 m/s), and f is the frequency in Hz.
Glossary of Terms
- Frequency (MHz): The number of cycles per second of an electric signal.
- Wavelength: The distance between successive crests of a wave.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
For a frequency of 100 MHz, the wavelength is calculated as follows:
Wavelength = 300,000,000 / (100 × 106) = 3 meters.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the importance of wavelength in antenna design?
