Hi Elya,

another important point to take into account is the freqency dependence of
the (complex)
permittivity of your dielectric material. For example if epsilon_r is
decreasing with frequency the effect of enlargening the electical dimensions
of the pcb maybe less severe at higher frequencies.

Regards, Uwe Neibig
