    This document discusses four types of printed circuit board transmission lines: microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, and slotline. Microstrip is the most popular but is slightly dispersive, lossy, and difficult to analyze. Stripline is better than microstrip as it is not dispersive and easier to analyze, but more difficult to fabricate and connect. Coplanar waveguide may be easiest to fabricate and connect as both the ground and conductor are on one side of the board. Slotline is best for balanced applications but is not used much.

    Printed Circuit Board


    Transmission Lines
    Microstrip
    Probably most popular PCB
    transmission line. Easy fabrication
    εr and connection, yet is slightly
    dispersive, lossy, and difficult to
    analyze.

    Stripline
    Better than microstrip in that it is
    not dispersive, and is more easily
    εr
    analyzed. However, fabrication and
    connection is more difficult.

    Coplanar Waveguide
    The newest technology. Perhaps
    easiest to fabricate and connect
    εεr r components, as both ground and
    conductor are on one side of the
    board.

    Slotline
    Essentially, a dual wire tranmission
    line. Best for “balanced”
    εr applications. Not used much.
