Microstrip Transmission Lines

50-ohm Transmission lines offer a designer complete flexibility and repeatability for the most challenging RF and Microwave applications.

Characterized and ready for use right out of the box
All tabulated data includes > 3 skin depths of AU— loss and impedance specifications are Guaranteed!
Ion Milling Process creates vertical conductor walls with no undercutting and 100% repeatability so production results are guaranteed to conform to model test data
Suitable for Au/Sn and Au/Ge attachment
Substrate is polished 99.6% alumina

Microstrip Transmission Lines are available in thicknesses of 5 mil, 10 mil, 15 mil, 20 mil, and 25 mil with tolerances of +/- 1 mil.

W₀ for various size substrates:

0.00463” for 0.005” Alumina
0.00957” for 0.010” Alumina
0.01433” for 0.015” Alumina
