to follow on, stripline or microstrip? are you deembedding the traces to
remove fixturing from the loss measurement.

What is your test method? How are you connecting to the board? What test
equipment are you using? Are you measuring the same net on both boards?

Subject: [SI-LIST] Why is my PCB loss so high?

We have had several boards made from Isola FR408HR.
My understanding is that at 3 GHz loss should be about 0.3 db / inch.
On one board I am measuring about 0.76 db / inch, on another 1.4 db / inch.
What can account for this?
Thanks
