CORRECTION ! Casper hit me with my HP calculator .. thus > I think you meant 0.850mm (850 micron), not 850cm :-) > bash-3.00$ bc scale=9 299792458000 <-- c cm/sec 1*10^9 1000000000 299792458000/1000000000 299.792458000 <-- 299 cm at 1 GHz 299.792458000/100 2.997924580 <-- 2.99 cm at 100 GHz 2.997924580/3.5 0.856549880 <-- 0.857 cm is that right ? damn short signal distance is what I mean here. .. the situation is even worse at really high frequencies.
