Estimate Microstrip Substrate Relative Dielectric Constant (.PDF Download)

Jan. 27, 2016

Microstrip lines are commonly used in microwave circuits, although their performance is subject to the type of substrate material selected for a printed-circuit board (PCB). One of the more important material parameters for the substrate is the relative dielectric constant, which should be known before...
