Abstract

A new empirical formula is presented for the normalised capacitance of microstrip lines. The formula uses a single equation to represent the microstrip line capacitance over the useful range of the aspect ratio. The maximum error of the new formula is contained within 0.8 percent and the relative root-mean-square error is contained within 0.55 percent. The new formula can be easily implemented in computeraided design and analysis as well as in hand calculations using pocket calculators.
