I'm having some trouble with my math (I am NOT a math major!)...
I am trying to find a microstrip width for DEMI circuit board (they call
it Duroid 5880 equivalent).
If so, it should have a dielectric constant (Er) of about 2.20.
Looking in my (VERY BRITISH) VHF/UHF Manual, here is the formula for
width of a microstripline...
Log(subscript 10)W= 0.8736 + log(subscript10)t -0.004992 x Z X (Sqroot
Er) + 1.14
W=width (mm)
t= thickness (mm)
Z=Impedance
So Er=2.20
Z=50 Ohm
t=0.787 mm (0.031")
What is W (in mm)??
Or, has anyone built 50 Ohm line on DEMI 0.031" circuit board and if so,
how wide were the strips????
