One thing that will probably happen at this temperature is any humidity in the board will be baked out, decreasing loss, especially in the outer layers. I would be sure you're margining the system in your expected environmental conditions, after giving it enough time to dry out.

Anyhow, the Dk over temperature is quite stable even for PTFE (<1% doesn't worry me). I don't know if the Df will also change. If it does, that just adds more losses to the copper losses I mentioned, but doesn't affect the characteristic impedance. BR Gert PS I'm still not worried...;-) Happy holydays everyone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Absender ist HARTING Electronics GmbH & Co.

I have attached one example (please delete the string "delete" in front of the web link, but w/o, the list server will mangle the long adress). deletehttp://www.rogerscorp.com/documents/726/acm/RO4000-Laminates---data-sheet-and-fabrication-guidelines-RO4003C-RO4350B.aspx Charts #1 and #2 show the variation of Dk and Df over temperatures normalized to the values at 25 deg C. For this particular material, Dk shows only a minor change from ambient to 100 deg C, but Df is already changing around 5%.

The Temperature shouldn't have a big influence on impedance. The series resistance will increase, but the result will just be higher losses. The board sice will increase with temperature, but each differential pair will just see fractions of this extra size, in my eyes not enough to worry about impedance changes. I don't think you have to worry about temperature related impedance changes on regular PCB at all, but I can't proof that with simulations or measurements.
