Hello

I am designing an antenna on Si substrate (resistivity = 300 ohm -cm) at 24 
Ghz.I want to calculate the loss tangent for this substrate .I calculate it as 
follows

conductivity = 1/ resistivity

Tan d = conductivity /( epsilon * 2* pi* f)

I get a value of 0.25 .My question is that if this calculation is right then 
why loss tangent decreases with the increase in frequency and if this 
calculation is not right then whats the right way to calculate the loss tangent 
from resistivity alone.

Thanks

Atif
