Bert,

The latest Isola data shows these glass weaves in all of their resin 
systems.  Not sure about Nelco as  they haven't updated their materials info 
in about 5 years.

>> Hi all,
>>
>> Recently there were discussions on PCB fiber weave effect. I recently
>> did a study and published a White Paper titled, "Practical Fiber Weave
>> Effect Modeling".
>>
>> Abstract:
>> Fiber weave effect is becoming more of an issue as bit rates continue
>> to sore upwards to 5GB/s and beyond. Due to the non-homogenous nature
>> of printed circuit board laminates, the fiberglass weave pattern
>> causes signals to propagate at different speeds within differential
>> pair traces; causing timing skew and mode conversion at the receiver;
>> leading to reduced bit-error-rate (BER) performance; and increased EMI
>> radiation. The relative dielectric constant (Dk) surrounding a trace
>> ultimately determines its propagation delay. This paper delves into
>> the issue and presents a novel approach to practically establish worst
>> case min/max values for Dk and use them to model this effect using ADS
>> circuit modeling software. A PCIe CEM
>> Rev2 case study is used to practically demonstrate the model and to
>> explore the design space.
>>
>> Here is the link: http://lamsimenterprises.com/White_Papers.html
>>
>> Thanks to Jeff Loyer, Istvan Novak and Gustavo Blando for there help
>> in clarifying some results of their prior published work on the subject.
>>
>> I hope you find it useful.
