What factors affect the propagation delay at wireless communication?

Propagation delay in networking This can also be called the transmission delay, flight time or time of flight for the signal. The two major factors that form the total propagation delay are the speed with which the signal travels and the total distance traveled.

What factors affect propagation delay?

Factors that affect propagation delay are: the way it is measured, the amount of overdrive, the supply voltage, the output driver supply voltage, capacitive loading, the common mode voltage, the configuration (inverting or non-inverting), the edge on which one measures (rising or falling) and temperature.

What causes propagation delay?

Propagation delay typically refers to the rise time or fall time in logic gates. This is the time it takes for a logic gate to change its output state based on a change in the input state. It occurs due to inherent capacitance in the logic gate.

How signal propagation is affected in wireless communication?

In wireless media, signals propagate using three principles, which are reflection, scattering, and diffraction. Reflection occurs when the signal encounters a large solid surface, whose size is much larger than the wavelength of the signal, e.g., a solid wall.

What is propagation delay in communication?

Propagation delay is defined as the flight time of packets over the transmission link and is limited by the speed of light. For example, if the source and destination are in the same building at the distance of 200 m, the propagation delay will be ∼ 1 μsec.
