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.

Hello Mark,

This is good one (I found it via google also). You can enter both
metallics and dielectrics as you want. It would be very nice when you
can mail me a Windows Build (I hope it is not that big). A link would
also be useful.

Best regards and thanks,

I will keep this on the web site for a few days. About 3MB download.
http://qrkwiggles.googlepages.com/atlc-4.4.4_Win32.zip

This version has problems with muliple dielectrics. I works fine with
two dielectrics, air and one of your choosing.


Thanks for sharing this, Mark. I'll try it out as well, just not right now.
