Abstract :
In the letter a simple correction for the influence of the strip thickness on the characteristic impedance of stripline is proposed. This correction is intended for use with Wheeler´s formula for characteristic impedance. The thickness correction is independent of strip width and thus has to be calculated only once. The formulas are extremely simple, and can easily be evaluated with a calculator.
