Hi Rahul, this is some rule of thumb. Here the corresponding formulas: Z=SQR(L'/C') v = 1/SQR(L'*C') C'=1/(Z*v) L=Z/v The rule of thumb I know for a 50OHm transmissionline: C'=135pF/m L'=340nH/m Z = Impedance v = velocity L' = characteristic inductance C' = characteristic capacitance Regards Hermann EKH - EyeKnowHow Hermann Ruckerbauer www.eyeknowhow.de hermann.ruckerbauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Veilchenstrasse 1 94554 Moos Tel.: +49 (0)9938 / 902 083 Mobile: +49 (0)176 / 787 787 77 Fax: +49 (0)3212 / 121 9008 rahul kumar schrieb: > Hello all, > I have seen in standards quoting transmission line capacitance equal to > 1.5pF per cm .
