Wavelength is the length of a wave, as literal as it sounds heh.

As for the halves and quarters, this is just referring to how much of the sinsoidial wave (as we see it on paper) is "patterned" in the length of the port.

i.e. In a quarter wave box, one quarter of the sine wave created progresses through the port. This could be any part of the period of the sine wave. From crest to midpoint or midpoint to trough (not midpoint-crest-midpoint).


If I'm wrong someone let me know lol!

So half would be midpoint crest midpoint or midpoint trough midpoint.
So are transmission lines not really worth the time and effort for the extended low end?

Yea, or crest midpoint trough, etc. Just any half of the period of a wave.

LOL you got it!

Seriously though, they are sometimes worth it. It depends on your goal and what you are willing to go through to get there.

Gotcha.
