Ok, firstly, there was a mistake in my formula... it is missing a
pair of parentheses, and should be (1-10^(-(3.941e-6*f^0.5)/10))*100.
That correctly finds 1.08%/m for R loss.
From my spreadsheet check, =(1-10^(-(0.00000000001031*f)/10))*100
correctly calculates 0.034%/m. Note the exponent of f is 1 in the G
case.
Apologies for the parenthesis omission. I wrote down what I 'did' on
an RPN calculator rather than copying an expression that evaluated
properly.
Does this answer your question?
Owen,
I simply pasted and copied your formulas in my Excel.
For f=144:
- the first formula gives me 0.00108893 that is 0.108%, which is 10
times lower than your figure
- the second formula gives me 3.41851e-08 that is 0.0000034%, which is
10,000 times lower than your figure
I did that three times, same results.....
I cannot understand what can be wrong....

Ok, you have calculated for 144Hz. Try f=144e6 and don't format the cells
with %.
