Microstrip Differential Impedance Equations
The equations used to perform the microstrip differential impedance
calculations are:
Z0 = 87/(sqrt(Er + 1.41)) * ln(5.98*H/(0.8*W+T))
Tpd = 58.35247*sqrt(Er+1.41)
C0 = Tpd/Z0
L0 = C0*Z0*Z0
Zdiff = 2*Z0*(1-0.48*exp(-0.96*S/H))
Complete the following steps to perform embedded microstrip differential
impedance calculations:
1.
Select Tools»PCB Differential Impedance Calculator.
2.
Select Embedded Microstrip in the Type drop-down list.
3.
In the Input Data area, edit the following fields as desired.
•
Input Length Unit—Select mils or millimeters.
•
Dielectric Height (H1)—Refer to the figure below.
