FAQs on 3dB Pulse Broadening

What is the formula to find 3dB Pulse Broadening?
The formula of 3dB Pulse Broadening is expressed as 3dB Pulse Broadening = sqrt(Optical Output Pulse^2-Optical Input Pulse^2)/(Length Of Cable). Here is an example- 0.006298 = sqrt(12.6^2-0.3^2)/(2.01).
How to calculate 3dB Pulse Broadening?
With Optical Output Pulse o), Optical Input Pulse i) & Length Of Cable (L1) we can find 3dB Pulse Broadening using the formula - 3dB Pulse Broadening = sqrt(Optical Output Pulse^2-Optical Input Pulse^2)/(Length Of Cable). This formula also uses Square Root Function function(s).
Can the 3dB Pulse Broadening be negative?
No, the 3dB Pulse Broadening, measured in Attenuation cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure 3dB Pulse Broadening?
3dB Pulse Broadening is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter[dB/m] for Attenuation. Neper per Meter[dB/m], Decibel per Kilometer[dB/m] are the few other units in which 3dB Pulse Broadening can be measured.
