**Note: All of our radio frequency calculators allow SI prefix input. For example, if you wish to input"25000000", just type "25M" instead. Keep in mind that some calculators for RF have hard-coded units; if the label says (nF), for example, there is no need to input "10n", as your input is already considered to be in nanofarads. See the quick-reference table below for all compatible SI prefixes.

FAQ

1. What is a coaxial cable attenuation calculator?

A coaxial cable loss calculator helps you estimate signal loss over distance and frequency for your cable type.

2. How do you calculate cable attenuation?

To calculate cable attenuation, first find the datasheet attenuation value per unit length for your cable. Then, multiply this value by your cable’s length. If the datasheet provides attenuation at a reference frequency, adjust for your operating frequency by multiplying by the square root of (your frequency divided by the reference frequency).

3. How do l reduce signal loss for coaxial cables?

You reduce signal loss in coaxial cables by using shorter, high-quality cables and impedance-matched connectors.

4. How to calculate signal loss in coaxial cable?

To calculate coaxial cable signal loss, find the attenuation in dB/unit length at your frequency from the manufacturer’s datasheet and multiply by the total cable length.

5. How to calculate attenuation of coaxial cable?

To determine coaxial cable attenuation, first get the manufacturer’s specification in dB per unit length at your frequency. Then, multiply that value by the total length of your cable run.

6. How to calculate characteristic impedance of coaxial cable?

Use the formula Z₀ = (138/√εr) * log(D/d). For a quick result, try an impedance calculator coaxial cable.

8. What is the impedance of a coaxial transmission line?

It’s determined by its dielectric and conductor geometry. Use a coaxial transmission line impedance calculator for exact values based on your D/d ratio.

9. How to calculate transmission line impedance?

Z₀ = (138/√ε) × log(D/d), where ε is the dielectric constant and D/d are conductor dimensions.

10.How to calculate coax cable loss?

Calculate coax cable loss by multiplying the cable’s attenuation per meter (dB/m) by its total length in meters.
