Wavelength in relation to the Dielectric Constant Dk

AI Thread 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.
