hi thanks, this answers my question, but opens a new one. "fit it with 3-4 real poles evenly distributed over you frequency band to get rational approximation form" -probably this would be the most difficoult part for me, i think. at least i have no idea how to do it (theory, c program). but probably its not a signal/power integrity problem already, but mathematics. on chapter 7, you mean chapter 4.2.1.6, figure 4.6d ? ok, it doesnt matter. regards, Istvan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yuriy Shlepnev" <shlepnev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Istvan Nagy'" <buenos@xxxxxxxxxxx>; "'steve weir'" <weirsi@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2008 7:48 PM Subject: RE: [SI-LIST] Re: plane RLGC Debye model > Istvan, > > If you have dielectric constant value at 1 MHz, dielectric constant at 20 > GHz may be about 10% smaller for a composite PCB material (as observed in > multiple experiments).
