Question

Calculate the characteristic impedance for a copper microstripline with G-10 dielectric (ɛ4.7) and air above the line. The PCB dielectric is 63 mils, trace width is 1/8 inch, and uses

1oz. copper. 1) What is ɛ eff at low frequencies? ) What is the characteristic impedance of the microstripline?
