Empirical expressions for fin-line design
Abstract
This paper presents empirical expressions in closed form for the design of unilateral and bilateral fin-lines. The guided wavelength and the characteristic impedance calculated with these expressions agree, typically within + or - 2 percent, with values obtained using numerical techniques in the normalized frequency range between 0.35 and 0.7, which is suitable for most practical applications.
