Abstract :
Novel equations giving electrical parameters from printed circuit (PC) board trace geometries are presented. Computed characteristic impedance, coupling capacitance, and inductive coupling coefficient are experimentally investigated using a wide variety of stripline and microstrip geometries. These parameters apply to SPICE models of circuits on PC boards containing fast (ns) devices
