Wavelength in relation to the Dielectric Constant Dk

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that the wavelength and transmission velocity of a signal are influenced by the dielectric constant (Dk), while the frequency remains constant. This relationship is outlined in the presentation from Rogers Corporation, specifically on slide 9 of the referenced PDF. Participants agree that altering the dielectric constant affects the propagation speed of the signal without altering its 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.
