[SI-LIST] AW: Stripline Propagation Velocity

The velocity of propagation is speed of light divided by the square root of dk, 
 and each material has a different dk, thus the speed is different.
V=c/SQR(dk)
This dk is the effective dk, thus the resin content and glass styles used have 
another strong influence on the speed. Glass has a dk of approx. 6, resin 
approximately 3, the mis is somewhere between 3.3 and 4.6 depending on resin 
style and glass style. In some Datasheets (like ISOLA's datasheets) you will 
find dk curves for several resin contents.

Betreff: [SI-LIST] Stripline Propagation Velocity

Hello All-

I took some VNA measurements on PCB's manufactured with several different 
materials.

Each PCB material had two 50 Ohm stripline traces on different layers:  A trace 
between two 4 mil cores, and another trace between two 8 mil cores.

I expected that the propagation velocity of two traces to be the same, but 
measuring the propagation delays indicated that they were not (the PCB launch 
and vias were calculated out.)

Of the six different PCB materials that I measured, five of them were faster on 
the stripline trace between the 4 mil cores.  The differences in speeds were 
outside the range that could be attributed to measurement error or 
manufacturing tolerances.

What can the differences in speeds be attributed to?

Thanks,
Ryan
