If you've been watching our videos with Tech Consultant Zach Peterson about transmission lines, impedance, and differential pairs, you've already come across the Propagation Constant. Today, Zach explores what is the Propagation Constant, the Skin Effect, copper roughness, and more.
* Note: During a segment of this video, I mention "6 ns/meter." The correct figure is 5.7 ns/meter or equivalent to about 6.8 inch/ns. Sorry about that!
