Dear Giancarlo, Appreciate your reply. I agreed with you that the dielectric constant is a important parameter to calculate impedance. Do you mean the frequency will impact the value of dielectric constant or dielectic constant will change with variable frequency? I really don't know it before.

Hi Pang, the charateristic impedance depends on the permittivity of the substrate. This quantity depends on the frequency and this a way for the Z0 to depends on the frequency. I would say that at 1.25 Ghz this effect could be not so big so I am surprised that the PCB manufact cannot control the impedance Giancarlo ________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pang Ning" <pangning2000@xxxxxxxxx> To: <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <peter_pang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 10:11 AM Subject: [SI-LIST] Transmission line impedance is related to signal switching frequency ? Dear all, I have a confusion about the PCB transmission line impedance. As I knew before, the transmission line impedance depends on the square root of L/C. That is to say, signal switching frequency will not impact transimission line impedance. But just now one famous PCB manufacturer informed me that they can't control differential pair impedance to 100ohm at the 1.25GHz frequency. I felt confused about the frequency will impact transmission line impedance. Does anybody can give me some idea about this question? Thanks a lot!
