Calculation Notes


An asymmetric stripline is constructed between two plane layers, where the distance above the trace is not equal to the distance below.

Factors that influence the impedance calculation include:-

  • Trace thickness (t)
  • Height above trace (ha)
  • Height below trace (hb)
  • Trace width (w)
  • Substrate dielectric (εr)

Z_{o}\approx \frac{80}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_{r}}}\times\ln\left(\frac{1.9\times(2h_{a}+t)}{(0.8w+t)}\right)\times \left(1-\frac{h_{a}}{4\times h_{b}}\right)
