Thanks, Michael for that link. Its always good to see free and openly published work that shows the world hasn't changed much since my work the mid-late 90's with regard to signaling in this fashion at rates higher than that in the same materials, et al. However, from my experience, I'd really be careful drawing many conclusions based on 85 ohms in measurement systems tuned for 50 & 100 ohms without some more rigorous determination of potential measurement error and the overall effect that loss might provide in diminishing reflections. A 15% deviation in target impedance seems like a lot room for that (rho +/-8% at every Z transition) while still making one feel a bit too comfortable about it than it should. The rest of the group might feel otherwise but I'd want to really ring that out before committing to something like that. I see the potential of depending on the system interconnection loss and then later use higher performance materials in a similar setting and then wonder what happened when troubles come up.
