With the speed of digital signaling ever increasing in the computer industry, digital design engineers find themselves merging into the realm of microwave engineering. These engineers have to explore new mechanisms of loss and signal degradation. One such loss originates from magnetic materials. These materials are often excluded from the industry and academic treatment of signal integrity on PWBs. However, two instances have been found where a magnetic metal, nickel, is used in the construction of PWB components. This research aims to address the effective losses from this magnetic material. Special attention will be given to ceramic capacitors containing nickel electrodes via simulation in Ansoft Corporation's HFSS™ and HSPICE developed by Synopsys ®.
