Skin Depth Diagram

δ = √(ρ / (π × f × μr × μ0))

μ0 = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m

Frequency: GHz is converted to MHz, then MHz to Hz

Resistivity: µΩ·cm is converted using ρ × 10⁻⁸ Ω·m

Skin depth is the distance from the conductor surface where AC current density falls significantly.

As frequency increases, current flows closer to the surface, so skin depth becomes smaller.

Input Example

Material: Copper
Resistivity: 1.678 µΩ·cm
μr: 1
Frequency: 10 GHz

Output

The calculator converts material and frequency values, then gives skin depth in micrometers.
