Pulse Width Distortion Calculator
The reliability of a transmission system is directly related to the accuracy and quality of the transmitted digital information. For a digital system, those parameters which determine the limits of the data transmission, are pulse width distortion and propagation delay skew. Propagation delay is the time taken for the signal to travel through the device. This is usually different when sending a low-to-high than when sending a high-to-low signal. This difference, or error, is called pulse width distortion (PWD) and is usually expressed as a percentage. The below calculator will calculate this for you based on data rate.
To calculate the PWD of an Isoloop device, enter your system data rate and PWD will automatically be calculated.
