Summary "Requirement of high-speed data transmission has led to a rising interest in the gigahertz region
and has prompted research for dielectric material parameters. As system clock frequencies and
rise times increase, signal integrity design considerations are becoming ever more important.
High-frequency effects such as dielectric losses, dispersion and skin-effect losses need to be
considered. For ensuring signal integrity, it is important to characterize losses of printed circuit
board (PCB) dielectrics. In this work, an analytical technique to extract the dielectric properties of
a single ended stripline transmission medium is described. This extraction procedure is refined
and nearly fifty test materials are studied. A standard measurement protocol is developed. Results
are analyzed and documented. At microscopic scale, no surface is smooth in real world. Almost
every conducting material shows some kind of surface roughness in terms of peaks and valleys on
the surface. Existing commercial software tools do not allow users to model the surface roughness
of the substrates accurately. In this work, an analytical model to calculate the losses due to the
roughness of the conductor surface is proposed. Results by considering the roughness are
analyzed and compared with the results obtained without considering the roughness. The
dielectric constant and loss tangent values of a PCB can be predicted, if the resin content
percentage is known. In this work, a function is retrieved from the experimental study of
numerous test boards whose resin contents are varied in a wide range. This function is used to
predict the dielectric constant value"--Abstract, leaf iii.
