Circuit designers choose transmission-line technologies based on a number of factors, including expected high-frequency performance and ease of implementation. Although transmission-line choices include some more exotic varieties, such as coplanar-waveguide (CPW) technology, the decision often boils down to either microstrip or stripline. Recognizing the differences between the two technologies can help nail down the best option...
