Mark, Welome to the si-list forum. In a very simplistic way we can say that the differential impedance is twice the single-ended impedance because we connect two transmission lines in series. Series impedances add, similarly series-connected inductances add. You can use the same formula of Zo*delay, just have to substitute the correct terms: differential impedance and differential (odd-mode) delay. You can find very good tutorials on the subject on the TDA Systems website. http://www.tdasystems.com/ Regards, Istvan Novak SUN Microsystems Mark Burford wrote: >Hi guys, just subscribed. >I understand the inductance of stripline to be Z0*delay_of_line >Could anyone tell me what the inductance is for differential odd mode >stripline please?
