All Z0 calculators have a built in "fudge factor" to make modelled results
agree with emperical data. It is called "dielectric constant"

I've evaluated multiple impedance calculators. I did as you
are doing, used actual x-section data with actual TDR
results and compared it to the calculators results. Some
calculators worked well with some stack-ups but not with
all types of stack-ups. A good calculator should have a
"fudge factor" that allows you to determine the best
"factor" that works for a particular stack-up. Actual data
is needed to make an impedance calculator accurate.

Thank you,

Hello,

If there are any impedance testing gurus out there I have a
question for
you.  We are testing an edge coupled offset strip line
coupon.  We modeled
the stack up to give us 100 ohms differential.  When we
test the coupon we
get around 130 ohms.  We have done a microsection of the
coupon and modeled
the coupon data and Polar says we should have 105 ohms,
within tolerance.
We had a 4 panel lot and it is consistent across the board.
  The coupon is
constructed correctly.  My question is, other than what I
am seeing on the
microsection should I look for to find the culprit of the
high reading?  Any
help would be great.
