2.11-9 TXLINE Tool in Microwave Office
This tool gives us the width of the line , given the parameters of the substrate, the desired
characteristic impedance of the line and the frequency at which the line is to operate. Note that the
physical length of the line changes the phase of the signal but has nothing to do with its
characteristic impedance!
There are also useful graphs which offer a good first approximation to microstrip line design,
these are shown in Figure 2.11-10 and Figure 2.11-11.
