Hi,

I need the value of the relative permittivity of Gold at a frequency of 104 MHz. I found values at optical wavelengths.
Thanks.

Best regards,
Nadia

Hi Nadia,

the relative permittivity of gold (and most metals) at 104 MHz is pretty meaningless because the skin depth is less than a micrometer.
What exactly do you think you need it for?

Cheers
Edgar

Dear Edgar,

Thank you for your reponse.
It is used for SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) sensor. The interdigitated electrodes and the sensing zone are covered with Gold.

Best regards,
Nadia.

Nadia,

I assume that the gold coatings are much thicker than the skin depth at 104 MHz. So an impedance BC would typically by sufficient for the electrodes.
