Robert,

The difference in loss will not be significantly enough to quantify, especially 
because option two will have less dielectric thickness when the tracewidth of 
option 1 and 2 are equal.
Return loss differences will not be significantly different too, when the 
impedance is kept the same.
ILD doesn't help, because it is affected by impedance discontinuities along the 
channel. Looking at the traces only will give a pretty flat ILD response.

Depending on the pair separation you will see unsymmetry between the lines of a 
pair. This unsymmetrie will possibly lead to mode conversions and/or x-talk. If 
the spacing is rather short, you should be able to see an impedance difference 
of each single trace of the differential pair.
For your task of quantifying the difference, I would go for x-talk (or 
isolation).

BR
Gert

ASCI Graphics did not come through correctly- will try again. I know the first 
option is preferable, and I know I can (and have) measured the Loss. What I am 
trying to quantify is Specifically Which S parameter(s) I can use/measure to 
quantify the difference; Insertion loss, Return Loss, or insertion loss 
deviation

Yes you would get a loss in both cases..
First option is more preferable...

Otherwise in second option, overlap the differential signal in opposite 
polarity. i.e 2 layer +- 3 later -+

Cheers,
Deepak

I have 2 Diff pairs in the same dielectric Material (ISO370HR). One is Uni 
Stripline, One is Dual Stripline. Aside from the potentially different 
core/Prepreg material, resin content, glass weave (etc), and they are the Same 
Copper Geometry (say 4 mil line/7 mil space) and have the same impedance, same 
DC resistance  will I be able to observe a difference in Insertion Loss, Return 
Loss, or Insertion Loss Deviation ?
