craig,
it might be a pretty big ballpark!!
you would have to square the equation to get Er.

Vp(m/s)= 3e8(m/s)/sqrt(Er)
so 
Er = (3e8(m/s)/Vp(m/s))^2

Jim

Venu,

If the board is a Microstrip you can do a quick measurement of the delay and
use this value to calculate the E'r. 

Use E'r = 3e8(m/s) / vp(m/s)

where vp = propagation velocity = inverse of the delay.  This should get you
in the ballpark

Regards, 

Craig

Hello Everybody,

I am having a PCB Board for which I want to calculate the Permitivity. I 
don't know what material is used for the pcb.
I don't have any details of the board, except the fabricated board.

Is there any method by which i can calculate.

Regards,
Venu
