Wave Propagation Speed - Calculating Velocity Factor

Calculating Velocity Factor

VF equals the reciprocal of the square root of the dielectric constant (relative permittivity), of the material through which the signal passes:

The VF of a lossless transmission line is given by:

where c is the speed of light, L is the distributed inductance (in henries per unit length) and C is the capacitance between the two conductors (in farads per unit length).
