Hello Jason; You might want to try polar instruments www.polarinstruments.com You can down load SI600 calulatr that has different coplaner differntial = structures built in. You can change the Sgnal- Ground gap and get the=20 impedence you are looking for.=20 Thanks=20 Nirmal -----Original Message----- From: Paul Levin [mailto:levinpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 2:08 PM To: mroczkj@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Coplanar differential signals Dear Jason, Take a look at Brian C. Wadell's "Transmission Line Design Handbook." He has formulas for these lines.
