How to Evaluate Group Delay?

Group Delay evaluator uses Group Velocity = Length of Fiber/Group Delay to evaluate the Group Velocity, The Group Delay formula is defined as the velocity with which the overall envelope shape of the wave's amplitudes—known as the modulation or envelope of the wave—propagates through space. Group Velocity is denoted by Vg symbol.

How to evaluate Group Delay using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Group Delay, enter Length of Fiber (L) & Group Delay (Td) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Group Delay

What is the formula to find Group Delay?
The formula of Group Delay is expressed as Group Velocity = Length of Fiber/Group Delay. Here is an example- 2.5E+8 = 1.25/5E-09.
How to calculate Group Delay?
With Length of Fiber (L) & Group Delay (Td) we can find Group Delay using the formula - Group Velocity = Length of Fiber/Group Delay.
Can the Group Delay be negative?
No, the Group Delay, measured in Speed cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Group Delay?
Group Delay is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Group Delay can be measured.
