Hi All ,
I'am trying to extract the PCB parasitics for RF Layout  in the process of
doing impedance matching for a critical circuitry.Freq :: 2- 6 Ghz.

I have few queries as listed below in this regards ..

For a loss'y transmission line the representation should be as RLGC.
However , most of these extraction tools seem to be extracting
merely L , C  ( independent of frequency ) & R as frequency dependent
skin effect.Should the di-electric related losses be considered as 
"G " ?

Are there tools which extract the PCB parasitics directly in terms of RLGC ?

I believe most of the PCB extraction tools are based on 2D field simulators.
Hence , the extraction does not make sense when there is a split plane .
Is the only option is to go for 3D EM simulators ?

If we go for 3D EM simulators , will they be able to extract from the PCB
gerbers directly ?

Can you pls throw some light on the above issues including the relevant tools ?

Thanks in Advance !!

Regards
Sunil
