You are correct Ray - I thought you were talking about microstrip - in
stripline velocity is dependent on the inverse square root of the
dielectric constant .

Justin-

Effective dielectric constant is a weak but complex function of stack-up

geometry for microstrip lines where the fields around the line are
partly
in the air and partly in the substrate material, however for stripline=20
geometries where the substrate material is both above and below the
signal
conductor I don't believe there is that dependency.
