What is bandwidth in RF signals?

bandwidth, in electronics, the range of frequencies occupied by a modulated radio-frequency signal , usually given in hertz (cycles per second) or as a percentage of the radio frequency. … The term also designates the frequency range that an electronic device, such as an amplifier or filter, will transmit.

What is rise time?

Rise time is the time taken for a signal to cross a specified lower voltage threshold followed by a specified upper voltage threshold . This is an important parameter in both digital and analog systems. In digital systems it describes how long a signal spends in the intermediate state between two valid logic levels.

What is a good rise time in control system?

For applications in control theory, according to Levine (1996, p. 158), rise time is defined as “the time required for the response to rise from x% to y% of its final value”, with 0% to 100% rise time common for underdamped second order systems, 5% to 95% for critically damped and 10% to 90% for overdamped ones .

How is bandwidth and rise time related?

Historically, oscilloscope frequency response tended to approximately follow the rule: Bandwidth x risetime = 0.35 . This corresponds to a 1- or 2-pole filter roll-off in the frequency domain. Today, at the high end, most real-time digital oscilloscopes more closely follow this rule: Bandwidth x rise time = 0.45.
