propagation delay
(redirected from Gate delay)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
propagation delay
The time it takes to transmit a signal from one place to another. Propagation delay is dependent solely on distance and two thirds the speed of light. Signals going through a wire or fiber generally travel at two thirds the speed of light. Contrast with nodal processing delay.
propagation delay [‚präp·ə′gā·shən di‚lā]
(electronics)
The time required for a signal to pass through a given complete operating circuit; it is generally of the order of nanoseconds, and is of extreme importance in computer circuits.

More complex issues require more time to resolve and you may need to try different gate delays to find the optimal sonic result.
The typical gate delay used for recording the calibration curve was chosen from the experimental condition that gave the best signal-to-noise and signal-to-background ratio.
This process delivers a 100 Ps gate delay for a 2 input NAND gate with a fan out of two.
