[SI-LIST] Dielectric constant measuring

Hi ,
I am trying to measure the dielectric constant value of our ckt at 100mhz
-3 Ghz in our lab. I have measured it but the value is too low 2.5 ( expectiing
value is between 3.2 to 3.5) .
I have used Iconnect software to measure the transient time for an
electromagnetc pulse to travel the length of my transmission line.
and the formula I have used is following:
td=measured data
l=length of the transmission line
Vc= velocity of light.
Er= (Vc*Vc*td*td)(l*l)
the TDR I have used has 35 ps rise time .
please let me know why I did get this low value. or you could recommend me to
find a way to get Er value. I will appreciate your help.
Ma
Steve,
Thanks for the plug! Sometimes the best solutions are the easiest!
