How to Evaluate Bandwidth Penalty?

Bandwidth Penalty evaluator uses Post Detection Bandwidth = 1/(2*pi*Load Resistance*Capacitance) to evaluate the Post Detection Bandwidth, Bandwidth Penalty of a photodiode is the reduction in the available bandwidth or frequency response of an optical communication system or photodetection system due to the characteristics and limitations of the photodiode itself. Post Detection Bandwidth is denoted by B symbol.

FAQs on Bandwidth Penalty

What is the formula to find Bandwidth Penalty?
The formula of Bandwidth Penalty is expressed as Post Detection Bandwidth = 1/(2*pi*Load Resistance*Capacitance). Here is an example- 8E+6 = 1/(2*pi*3310*6.01E-12).
How to calculate Bandwidth Penalty?
With Load Resistance (RL) & Capacitance (C) we can find Bandwidth Penalty using the formula - Post Detection Bandwidth = 1/(2*pi*Load Resistance*Capacitance). This formula also uses Archimedes' constant .
Can the Bandwidth Penalty be negative?
No, the Bandwidth Penalty, measured in Frequency cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Bandwidth Penalty?
Bandwidth Penalty is usually measured using the Hertz[Hz] for Frequency. Petahertz[Hz], Terahertz[Hz], Gigahertz[Hz] are the few other units in which Bandwidth Penalty can be measured.
