The tool calculated Rdc = 1.358E-4 ohms/mil . (That is equivalent to
5.346 ohms/meter).
The numbers I reported were for the frequency dependent resistance (Rs),
that is, the component that is in _addition_ to Rdc .
I assume (but don't know for a fact) that the values calculated are
magnitude values, not just the Real part. I noticed that I labeled
the values as Re(Rs) and that may have been (probably was) an error
on my part.
The tool put out numbers as ohms/mil . I converted to ohms/meter and
divided by sqrt(f) prior to presenting the results. As a sanity check,
here are the raw numbers reported by the tool prior to my manual post
processing:
2.777E-4 ohms/mil @ 100MHz
9.857E-4 ohms/mil @ 1GHz
2.372E-3 ohms/mil @ 5GHz
