Abstract :
Utilizing 3D circuits may reduce components cost significantly. An essential configuration to consider is the embedded transmission line (ETL), an offset stripline with two dielectrics. There is no closed-form solution for the effective dielectric constant. This paper provides an accurate (1% maximum error) approximate formula, and compares it with full wave simulations.
