Calculation Notes


A differential symmetric stripline is constructed of two traces placed equidistantly between two plane layers, separated by a dieletric.

Factors that influence the impedance calculation include:-

  • Trace thickness (t)
  • Substrate height (h)
  • Trace width (w)
  • Trace spacing (s)
  • Substrate dielectric (εr)

Z_{o}\approx \frac{60}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_{r}}}\times\ln\left(\frac{1.9\times(2h+t)}{(0.8w+t)}\right)

Z_{d}\approx 2\times Z_{o}\times\bigg[1-0.347\,exp\Big(-2.9\frac{s}{2h+t}\Big)\bigg]
