Conversion Formula
δ = √(ρ / (π × f × μ₀ × μᵣ))
Explanation of Formula
Here, δ represents the skin depth in meters, ρ is the resistivity of the material in ohm-meters, f is the signal frequency in hertz, μ₀ is the permeability of free space, and μᵣ is the relative permeability of the material. The formula calculates the distance from the surface where the current density drops to 1/e of its surface value.
Example Calculation
For Copper (ρ = 1.678 μΩ·cm, μᵣ ≈ 1) at 1 GHz:
δ = √(1.678×10⁻⁸ / (π × 1×10⁹ × 4π×10⁻⁷ × 1)) ≈ 2.066 μm
