Hi Cyril, I've used a similar material in a design, the value was around 2.6, that was for design of power dividers for base station antennae. Thanks & Regards Razeen. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of CHASTANG Cyril Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 5:53 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] FR4 permittivity Hi, I have recently received a PCB (dielectric= Isola PLC-FR-370HR) and its certificate of compliance (extract below). The value of the material permittivity given below is quite surprising (2.173) to be FR4. Is it the effective permittivity for a microstrip? Is there a mistake in the certificate? [cid:image001.png@01CE1035.1EA257F0] Have you ever seen a FR4 permittivity like that ? Thank you for your help.
