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,

This is a bit off topic in direct relation to your post; however, I
built this antenna as an external to my wifi router/switch to increase
coverage of the net:

Fig. 1-5 and the plot of the radiation pattern (fig. 1-7) I found
particularly interesting ...
