This tool computes the signal bandwidth from its frequency.
- Enter the fundamental frequency
- Pick the signal type (sine, square, triangle or sawtooth)
The units of the signal bandwidth are the same as that of the signal frequency.
Examples
A sine wave with a fundamental frequency of 1 GHz has a bandwidth of 1 GHz, while a square wave with the same frequency has a bandwidth of 5 GHz.
Example Applications
- Rise Time Calculator – use bandwidth to find the rise time of the signal
- Nyquist Rate Calculator – what’s the sampling rate to avoid aliasing? Once you calculate the bandwidth, use this tool to pick an appropriate oscilloscope or analog-to-digital converter.
- Nyquist Frequency Calculator gives the maximum frequency of the input signal to avoid aliasing.
