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... :-) Laura Halliday VE7LDH "That's a totally illegal, Grid: CN89mg madcap scheme. I like it!" ICBM: 49 16.05 N 122 56.92 W - H.
