In my opinion differential or single-ended makes no difference for Dk/Df 
extraction. Important is the kind of structure you use. A simple trace is not a 
good structure. I suggest a resonant standard like a Beatty Standard.

Check the Designcon 2018 paper "Non-Destructive Analysis and EM Model Tuning of 
PCB Signal Traces using the Beatty Standard"

Subject: [SI-LIST] Differential vs. SE for PCB Dk/Df extraction

Hi SI gurus,

While using VNA to measurement traces on PCB  for loss and Dk/Df extraction,  
my colleagues say the differential handhold probe head can have wider bandwidth 
than single ended handhold probe head.  Is it true?
Can someone help to explain the reasons?

 Also, for Dk/Df extraction, which is better structure, using single ended or  
differential traces? Why?

Thank you for helps in advance.

Thanks,
John Lin
