S A Prasad: You could use a low dielectric material on exterior surfaces such as = Polyimide (3.1~3.3) this will help. However, 50 ohm trace widths would = be around 1.27 mm (0.050") which is a size good for RF circuits for 0805 = components. Alternatively, Void out the top two layers under the 130 ohm = layers so the height above the plane is taller. The limititing factor on = this is the overall board thickness.

This is not practically possible due to manufacturing = constrains. Can you suggest me some technique so i can archive this on the board.
