Accurately determining the dielectric constant (𝛆r) of PCB materials is essential for ensuring reliable circuit simulations, signal integrity, and high-performance designs. In this video, Gregory explores three proven methods for characterizing the dielectric properties of a PCB:
🔹 Ring Resonator Method: Utilizing frequency resonance to extract effective permittivity (𝛆e).
🔹 Delta Line Pair Method: Measuring phase delay between different microstrip line lengths.
🔹 Time-Interval Impedance Discontinuity Method: Using TDR to analyze impedance mismatches.
By implementing these techniques, engineers can achieve more accurate PCB simulations, reduce design iterations, and optimize performance for RF circuits, high-speed digital systems, and signal integrity applications.
