Default Microstrip formula for non-standard geometry

Hello,

Most formulas for microstrip transmission line assume that there is
dielectric all over the ground plane.

Does somebody know a formula (or graphical solution) for the
characteristic impedance of a microstrip where there is only
dielectric material under the strip (so you can see the ground
plane)?

Best regards,

The above link is a wonderful arbitrary solver for transmission lines.
This is primarily a Unix program. If you need a Windows build of the
program, I probably have version 4.4 somewhere.
