Hi, Mary:
The voltage was held constant. For easy recall, you were referring to the
following paragraph.
"Although I do not know (nor does the EMCAD1 literature indicate) the
boundaries within which their software/equations apply, I agree with you. My
tests on a demonstration board with 50 ohm and 100 ohm microstrip traces
(verified by HP TDR equipment) indicated field increases of 8-9 dB for the
100 ohm line relative to the 50 ohm line. This result is between the 6 dB
and 12 dB boundaries of our discussion. Isn't that always the way it is?"
