Mathematical Formula & Engineering Rules

Z0 = [ 87 / √(εr + 1.41) ] × ln[ (5.98 × H) / (0.8 × W + T) ]

Worked Engineering Example

Target: 50 Ω microstrip on standard 1.6mm 4-layer FR-4 board (εr = 4.4, dielectric height H = 0.2mm to layer 2 plane, 1 oz copper T = 0.035mm).

  • Solving for Z0 = 50 Ω gives trace width W ≈ 0.38 mm (15 mils).
