Hi;


I think your formula is wrong  tan d =3D ( conductivity + omega *
dielectric loss constant)/(Omega * permittivity)

Subject: [SI-LIST] Loss tangent calculation


Hi

I am designing an antenna on Si substrate at 24 GHz.I want to
calculate the Loss tangent for this substrate .I have the following
info

Resistivity =3D 300 ohm-cm (for silicon substrate )

I calculate it as follows: conductivity =3D 1/ resitivity

Also  loss tangent (Tan d)=3D conductivity / (epsilon * 2 *pi * f )
where Epsilon (r) for silicon is 12 and f is 24 GHz.In this way I get
=20
Tan d =3D 0.25=20

I dont know whether this calculation is right or not.My question is if
this is not the right way then how can I calculate the Loss tangent
from resistivity only and secondly if this is right then why the loss
tangent decreases with the increase in fequency.

Thanks=20
Atif
