I need answer to thses qustions.​


1- Could you please explain the notion of electrical length.​

2- If I give you a physical length of an element and the operating frequency, how to be able to calculate the element’s electrical length.

It's hard to tell from your questions, but it sounds like you're talking resonant lengths of wire for antennas. You're going to have to be a bit clearer phrasing your question.

This sounds like a school assignment too, which probably means it needs to be in the homework forum.

I agree with Bill. This does appear to be a homework assignment and so I have moved this thread to the homework forum.

Let me know a212 if we have misjudged you post as homework.

Electrical length is related to the wavelength of a signal propagating in a trasnmission line. It is also related to the properties of the materials and the geometry of the construction. Since wavelength times frequency is a constant we can see that electrical length changes as the frequency of the signal changes.

You can calculate the electrical length in the said applications by:

\(L_{electrical}\) = \(3.1e-4\frac{L_{physical}*f}{V_{P}}\) (in metres)

\(V_{P}\) is the velcoity factor is the wave velocity divided by the speed of light in a vacuum (obviously a value less than 1).
