microstrip line vs stripline vs suspended stripline vs slotline vs coplanar waveguide vs finline
This page covers comparison between planar transmission lines viz. microstrip line, stripline, suspended stripline, slotline, coplanar waveguide and finline. It compares microstrip line vs stripline vs suspended stripline vs slotline vs coplanar waveguide vs finline and provide difference between them.
Name | Characteristic Impedance | Radiation Loss | Dispersion | Component mounting | Quality factor |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Microstrip Line | 20 to 120 Ohm | High for low ε and Low for high ε | Low | Easy for series and difficult for shunt | 250 |
Stripline | 35 to 250 Ohm | Low | None | Very difficult because of totally covered structure | 400 |
Suspended Stripline | 40 to 150 Ohm | Low | None | Compatible with both shunt and series | 500 |
Slotline | 60 to 200 Ohm | Moderate | High | Easy for shunt and difficult for series | 100 |
Coplanar Waveguide | 20 to 250 Ohm | Moderate | Low | Easy for both series and shunt | 150 |
Finline | 10 to 400 Ohm | None | Low | Compatible with both series and shunt | 500 |
