CST2013: Calculate / Calculate analytical Line Impedance

Home: MacrosMacrosCalculateCalculate analytical Line Impedance

This macro calculates the analytical line impedance for the selected TEM Line. Since there is no closed analytical expression for the CPW, Striplines and Microstrip lines, empirical or semi-analytical formulas are used.

Note: These formulas are only valid for a certain parameter range. The macro does currently not check if the entered parameters are within the valid range. The applied formulas can be found in the following books:

Coax Line: David M. Pozar, Microwave Engineering, 2nd Edition, pp. 65

Stripline: David M. Pozar, Microwave Engineering, 2nd Edition, pp. 156

Thick Stripline: O. Zinke and H. Brunswig, Hochfrequnztechnik 1, 6th Edition, pp. 161

Microstrip Line: Robert E. Collin, Foundations for Microwave Engineering, 2nd Edition pp. 150

Thick Microstrip Line: Robert E. Collin, Foundations for Microwave Engineering, 2nd Edition pp. 150

Coplanar Waveguides: Robert E. Collin, Foundations for Microwave Engineering, 2nd Edition pp. 177

Coplanar Waveguides with Ground: Robert E. Collin, Foundations for Microwave Engineering, 2nd Edition pp. 175

Freq. Dispersion relations for all Lines: K. C. Gupta, Microstrip Lines and Slotlines, 2nd Edition
