OT: Use of the word TARD...

That's irrevelant. And wrong, as usual. 30 GHz is a 33 ps period.

But you didn't answer the question. It matters what kind of cable you use if you want to get picosecond stability, much less femtosecond.

John

1/(30*10^9) = 10^-9/30 = 10^-10/3 = 0.33*10^-10 = 33*10^-12

Typo, sorry,

Wavelength.

30GHz = 1cm 300GHz = 1mm

You all three need to try again.

do a google search, you retarded twits.

wavelength at 30 GHz

Or just type out the whole query:

Pretty simple shit. You dopes are wrong.

30GHz has a *period* of ~33.3ps regardless of what the wavelength is -- 1cm or 100cm.

But if you insist...

Speed of light in a vacuum = 3*10^8 m/s = 3*10^10 cm/s.

Time = Distance / Speed

1cm / 3*10^10cm/s = 33.3ps on my calculator.

Wow. That's just sad -- not only that it's wrong, but how poorly it's written.

Proof that you are an idiot. One is ten times the length of the other, dumbfuck.

Wavelength has nothing to do with the argument.

You stated that the period at 30GHz was 3.3ps. That is just plain wrong, as three people have pointed out, showing their working.

Whatever answers.com has to say about how long it takes light to travel is irrelevant. The period is merely the reciprocal of the frequency. The speed of light doesn't come into it. You made a provable arithmetical error. Admit it like a man.

No, I didn't, since I performed no math.

You never do math. All you have is fuzzy opinions, which you defend like a junkyard dog.

John

If I were, you would have already been ground up, and dried, then used in my pixie dust.

No. I looked it.

Now, John, what is the shortest pulse width signals that can be discerned from within a 30GHz carrier? Any idea?

Bwuahahahahahaha!

The question is meaningless.

John

Never even looked at it. c=3e8 meters per second has always been good enough for me. I know it's 2.99 or is it 2.97?, but I sure wouldn't go to the Web for a definitive figure.

Either he's *very* clever, and is playing us all like a fish, or he is just plain stoopid, and ornery with it.

I opine the latter.

You made a statement about frequency and period, That's math. Otherwise, how did you arrive at it? Chicken entrails? Crystal ball?

Nothing new there, either.

c = 3e8 m/sec = 3e10 cm/sec

1/3e10 = 33.3333...e12 = ~33ps, NOT 3.3ps

I think NymNoNuts is probably manic depressive, right along with his zookeeper and feeder, John Larkin :-) ...Jim Thompson

I still use 1 foot per nanosecond rule of thumb, sometimes. Another useful rule of thumb: If it looks wrong, it probably is. That's from the days of guessing sticks.

Fully agree, but why the hell did he bring c into it, when he could just have done:

1/Frequency

1/30e9 ~ 33e-12

I even showed intermediate steps, and he still didn't get it.

Are you and I the only ones left who know how to use a pencil?

So was Winston Churchill, maybe a diet of brandy and cigars might help ;-)
