Silqun, As far as I remember these are collected data from different munufacturers but based on data measured or confirmed by measurement. I have added additional info from another source where the source of the data is given (DDI). Regards, Jim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: [SI-LIST] Re: dielectric loss question Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2003 13:11:26 -0500 From: Silqun Leung <SLeung@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Jim G Roberts'" <jgroberts@xxxxxxxxxx> Jim, Thanks for the presentation. Am I correct in assuming that the data on the last plot with attenuation due to surface roughness is simulated data?
