Default Microstrip dimension

The reason I bought it was that there was a whole bunch of it available
at the Central States VHF Society conference this past weekend. They
did have some slightly thicker stuff and maybe I should've bought some
of that as well. Oh well, I'm stuck with this, so I'll have to try to
use it...it's for a homebrew 902 beacon using a few MAR-4 devices. I
will have to measure the lead width on these devices, but they might
just be about the same as my calculated stripline width of 0.0195".
This would be a good thing, but I agree, it may be a bit challenging to
make a strip that narrow on the board (a magnifying lens and a very
sharp scalpel!)....


I know you already have the material, but for such a
low frequency and non-critical application I'd use plain
old 1/16" G-10 pc board. YMMV.

Mini-Circuits have an excellent on-line catalogue
(http://www.minicircuits.com), and the lead width
of a MAR-4 is indeed .02 inches. This seems small,
but I'm at work and all my MMICs are at home... :-)
