    Stripline is a planar transmission line well-suited for microwave circuits. It consists of a center conductor separated from ground planes by dielectric material. Key properties include: - The phase velocity and propagation constant depend only on the dielectric constant of the surrounding material. - Characteristic impedance is determined by the width of the center conductor, thickness of dielectric, and dielectric constant. Wider center conductors result in lower impedances. - Attenuation has contributions from dielectric losses and conductor losses. It is often expressed in dB per wavelength to account for frequency dependence.

    STRIPLINE

    Mark Vincent Abadies


    ECE 110
    STRIPLINE
    -is a planar type transmission line which is well suited for
    microwave integrated circuitry and photolithographic fabrication.

    -it is a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) transmission line invented


    by Robert M. Barret of the the Air Force Cambridge Research Centre
    in 1950's.

    The phase velocity is given by:

    STRIPLINE vp 1 0 0 r
    c r [3.1]

    Thus, the propagation constant of the stripline is:



    0 0 r
    vp
    [3.2]
    r k0
    The characteristic impedance of a transmission line is
    given by:

    L LC 1
    Z0 [3.3]
    C C v pC
    L and C are the inductance and capacitance per unit length
    of the line. The resulting formula for the characteristic
    impedance is:

    30 b
    Z0 [3.4]
    r We 0.441b
    Where We is the effective width of the center conductor
    given by:

    W
    We W 0 for 0.35
    b
    b 0.35 W b W
    2
    b for 0.35
    b
    [3.5]

    These formulas assume a zero strip thickness, and are


    quoted as being accurate to about 1 % of the exact
    results.
    When designing stripline circuits, one usually needs to
    know the strip width, W.
    By given characteristic impedance (and height b and
    permittivity r), the value of W can be found by the
    inverse of the formulas in equation [3.4] and [3.5].
    The useful formulas are:

    W x for r Z 0 120 [3.6]



    b 0.85 0.6 x for r Z 0 120

    Where, x 0.441
    r Z0
    The attenuation due to dielectric loss is:
    k tan

    The attenuation due to the conductor loss:

    2.7 10 3 Rs r Z 0 A

    [3.11]

    Where t is the thickness of the strip


    Find the width for a 50 copper stripline
    conductor, with b = 0.32 cm and r = 2.20. If
    STRIPLINE
    [EXAMPLE 1] the dielectric loss tangent (tan ) is 0.001
    and the operating frequency is 10 GHz,
    calculate the attenuation in dB/. Assume
    the conductor thickness of t = 0.01 mm and
    surface resistance, Rs of 0.026
    Since r Z 0 2.2 (50) and
    74.2 120

    30
    SOLUTION x 0.441 0.830
    [EXAMPLE r Z0
    2.1]

    Eq [3.6] gives the width as W = bx = (0.32)(0.830)


    = 0.266 cm. At 10 GHz, the wave number is

    2f r
    k 310.6m 1
    c
    The dielectric attenuation is
    k tan (310.6)(0.001)
    d 0.155 Np / m
    SOLUTION
    2 2
    [EXAMPLE 2.1] Surface resistance of copper at 10 GHz is
    Rs = 0.026 . Then from eq
    2.7 103 Rs r Z 0 A
    c 0.122 Np / m
    30 (b t )
    since A = 4.74
    The total attenuation constant is
    c d 0.277 Np / m
    In dB;
    (dB / m) 20 log e 2.41dB / m
    SOLUTION
    [EXAMPLE At 10 GHz, the wavelength on the stripline is;
    2.1]
    c
    2.02cm
    f r
    So in terms of the wavelength the attenuation is

    (dB / ) (2.41)(0.0202) 0.049dB /


    But why do we need to convert Np/m to
    dB/m using this way?
    (dB / m) 20 log e ( Np / m ) 2.41dB / m
    loss to the transmission line is reflected by the
    attenuation constant. The amplitude of the
    signal decays as e-.
    The natural units of the attenuation constant
    are Nepers/meter, but we often convert to
    dB/meter in microwave engineering. To get
    loss in dB/length, multiply Nepers/length by
    8.686.

    By derivation found in M.Pozars book (page 141), the
    surface charge density on the strip at y = b/2 is:

    The charge density on the strip line by uniform distribution:

    1 for x W 2
    s x [3.13]
    0 for x W 2
    The capacitance per unit length of the stripline is:

    The characteristic impedance is then found as:
