[SI-LIST] Re: Electroless Ni-Au Plating impact on microstrip losses

In the paper "PCB Loadboard Design Challenges for Multi-Gigabit Devices in 
Automated Test Applications" presented at Designcon 2006 there is a comparison 
of the measured loss of a 19 mil microstrip trace with different surface 
finished including thin and thick gold plating. The results are also presented 
in the just launched book "An Engineer's Guide to Automated Testing of 
High-Speed Interfaces"

Another paper on this topic is:

G. Brist, D. Cullen, D. Luttrull, and J. Martin, ?Reduction of High-Frequency 
Signal Loss
through the Control of Conductor Geometry and Surface Metallization,? 
International
Conference of the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA), 2002.

I hope this is of some help.

Jose

Sorry about that.  This is the question I sent out.


  Is anyone aware of any published research on Ni-Au plating over 
Microstrip and the impact on losses other than:

"Ni-Au Surface Finish Effects on RF Performance", D. Staiculescu, J. 
Laskar, J. Mendelsohn, E. Sweetman, D. Rudy and I. Artaki , IEEE MTT-S 
Digest, 1999, pp 1909-1912.
