Dear HK Kim:

The PCB trace losses include conductor and dielectric losses.

The conductor losses can be decomposed as DC resistive plus skin effect
losses.
The Ohmic losses are frequency independent while the skin effect losses
vary with square root of frequency. =20

The dielectric losses are proportional to frequency.  At sufficiently
high frequencies (exceeding ~ 1.0 GHz) for typical PCB trace dimensions,
the dielectric losses can become the dominant loss mechanism.

These transmission line losses can adversely influence signal rise time,
amplitude,=20
noise margins and timing.
