Quick Answer
Wavelength (λ) = Velocity / Frequency. In a vacuum, velocity is the speed of light (c). In a cable or PCB, waves travel slower, requiring a Velocity Factor (VF) between 0.5 and 0.9.

Design Notes
Never assume signals travel at the speed of light over a PCB or through a coaxial cable. For example, standard FR4 PCB material has a VF of roughly 0.45 to 0.55 depending on the trace geometry. This means a 1 GHz signal, which has a 30 cm wavelength in air, will only have a ~15 cm wavelength on your PCB. If you are designing quarter-wave matching stubs or length-matching high speed lines, using the correct velocity factor is critical.
Common Mistakes
- 1
Using c (300,000 km/s) for calculations inside coax cables. RG-58 coax typically has a VF of 0.66, meaning the wave is 34% slower.
- 2
Confusing Hz with MHz/GHz resulting in calculation errors off by millions. Always use base SI units or keep track of the scientific notation.
- 3
Ignoring the effect of dielectric loading. Exposing a trace to air vs encapsulating it in conformal coating changes the local velocity factor.
Engineering Handbox
1. Convert Frequency: 2.4 GHz = 2,400,000,000 Hz 2. Base Wavelength (Air): λ = c / f = 299,792,458 / 2.4e9 = 12.49 cm 3. Apply Velocity Factor: 12.49 cm × 0.66 = 8.24 cm
Knowledge Base
Fórmula do comprimento de onda?
λ = c / f. Com fator de velocidade: λ = (c × VF) / f. Exemplo: 2,4 GHz = 12,5 cm no espaço livre.
O que é fator de velocidade?
Razão entre velocidade no meio e no vácuo. FR4 ≈ 0,45–0,55, RG-58 = 0,66.
Por que o comprimento de onda importa?
Quando dimensões do circuito atingem λ/10, efeitos de linha de transmissão dominam.
Cálculo de comprimento de antena?
Dipolo λ/2: L = c/(2f). Monopolo λ/4: L = c/(4f).
Comprimento de onda do WiFi 2,4 GHz?
Espaço livre: 12,5 cm. Em PCB (VF≈0,5): ~6,25 cm.
