The variations in the FR4 relative permittivity could raise some issues. FR4
permittivity varies with the substrate’s thickness, resin content, copper foil
roughness, as well as the style of the glass weave. The FR4 insulator’s
With top analysis and design tools, you can analyze the FR4 relative
With these tools, you will be able to diagnose the fr4 relative permittivity
There are some limitations that go with using FR4, most especially in
