Measured Pulse Transfer Characteristics of High Impedance Microstrip Lines.

Abstract

Theoretical and experimental results of the propagation and coupling characteristics of fast risetime (50-150 ps) digital pulses on high impedance (100 ohm) microstrip lines are presented. Theoretical microstrip design equations are discussed and the significance of dispersion analyzed. Five mil lines on 35 mil alumina substrates were fabricated using standard thick film technology. Various line lengths, coupled line lengths, and coupled line spacings were analyzed to determine pulse degradation effects and the coupling coefficients between lines. (Author)
