All, can you help me out with the relative magnetic permeability of a few conductors? I've spent most of the afternoon using google and searching through the numerous engineering, physics & chemistry handbooks in our library, all to no avail. I'm looking at materials used for MCM conductors plus a few others for comparison, with a view to analysing the effects on multi-gigabit serial link type signals. Ideally, I'd like to complete the following list for relative magnetic permeability, Ur: copper, Ur = 1. gold molybdenum tungsten nickel, Ur in the range 5 to 20 (assume 10) at 1 GHz (see Johnson & Graham, black magic 2, p267). However, even if such figures are forthcoming, are they close enough to the paste like compounds used for MCM conductors? Cheers, Mark. Stevenage, England.
