Abstract :
An empirically derived relation is reported which accurately describes the open-end effect in microstrip transmission lines on alumina substrates. This empirical equation was used to describe the edge-correction term in Wheeler´s general expression for the characteristic impedance for wide lines. It is shown that with this modification there exists a distinct crossover (w/h ≈ 1) between the narrow- and wide-line approximations.
