DESCRIPTION

Function to synthesize the physical dimenstions of a single stripline transmission line to achieve a desired characteristic impedance and electrical length. The desired characteristic impedance and some of the physical dimensions of the stripline line are given as inputs and the remaining dimensions are calculated.
