How to Calculate Bandwidth Penalty?
Bandwidth Penalty calculator uses Post Detection Bandwidth = 1/(2*pi*Load Resistance*Capacitance) to calculate 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.
How to calculate Bandwidth Penalty using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bandwidth Penalty, enter Load Resistance (RL) & Capacitance (C) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bandwidth Penalty calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8E+6 = 1/(2*pi*3310*6.01E-12).
