ANTENNA PROJECTS LENGTH CONVERSION
Use these converters and calculators to
convert from one measurement to
another!
How many times have you found that fantastic antenna design, project or plan on the internet but were stopped cold because it used lengths in Centimeters, Millimeters, Feet, Inches, Yards, etc.
The calculators, converters and other information on this page will
enable you to easily convert from one measurement to another. Have
fun!.....
The converters below are easy to use but you must have Java enabled on your browser to get the FIRST
converter below to work. The second converter below is a
non-working version and must be downloaded and
saved to your computer for operation.
The first one covers
just about any measurment conversion you could ever want.
The most
frequent conversions for Amateur Radio use are highlighted in red.
It is calibrated against the "Angstrom
unit".
What Is an Angstrom?
Electromagnetic radiation travels in
waves. Scientists use the length of the wave (the distance between peaks)
to define the energy of the radiation. Astronomers measure this length in
"angstroms," a unit of measure equal to 1 hundred-millionth of a
centimeter. It's a convenient shorthand to avoid writing lots of zeroes
when talking about the wavelengths of light. In everyday terms, a sheet of
paper is approximately 1,000,000 angstroms thick. Visible light covers the
range from 4,000 to 8,000 angstroms.
The calibrate button on the
first converter is used to calibrate all the different measurements
conversions against a standard.
You do not have to
calibrate it.
This is just included in the Program for those
interested..
To use the online
converter...just click your cursor into the unit window you wish to
convert....type in the measurement....click
"calculate" button at bottom.
If you would like to save the convertor
to your computer, use your browser and select "Save
as" Web page complete.... into your favorite folder.
This will
include the html code in the file.
