Wavelength in relation to the Dielectric Constant Dk

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between wavelength and the dielectric constant (Dk) in transmission lines. It confirms that while the wavelength and transmission velocity are affected by changes in Dk, the frequency remains constant. Participants agree that the dielectric constant influences signal propagation characteristics. Understanding this relationship is crucial for designing effective microstrip and coplanar stripline circuits. The key takeaway is that changes in Dk alter wavelength and velocity without impacting frequency.

As far as I understand the wavelength and the transmission velocity will be affected but the frequency stays the same. Is it correct?
That is correct. The velocity changes, not the frequency.
 

Thread 'Need to anneal 5052 aluminum'

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
