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.
