Impedance calculator for asymmetric differential stripline

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the need for an online asymmetric differential stripline impedance calculator. The user currently utilizes the Saturn PCB Design Toolkit but seeks a second calculator for cross-verification due to discrepancies in results from different tools. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the differences between broadside and edge-coupled topologies when calculating impedance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of asymmetric differential stripline design
  • Familiarity with the Saturn PCB Design Toolkit
  • Knowledge of impedance calculation methods
  • Concepts of broadside and edge-coupled topologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research online asymmetric differential stripline impedance calculators
  • Explore the differences between broadside and edge-coupled topologies
  • Learn about impedance calculation techniques for unbalanced lines
  • Investigate the Saturn PCB Design Toolkit's features for impedance analysis
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, PCB designers, and anyone involved in high-frequency circuit design who needs to calculate and verify stripline impedance values.

Hi

Anyone know of an online asymmetric differential stripline impedance calculator? I already have the Saturn pcb design tool kit. I just want to find a second one to cross check the result. My experience is I have seen two calculators gave different results.

Thanks

Broadside or edge coupled topology? (Not that I have either.)

You may need to calculate for yourself. A shortcut might be to find the difference between the symmetric and asymmetric unbalanced line and see if it can be replicated. This is possibly true for the edge coupled; not so much for the broadside.

Anyway, this post is mostly a bump in hopes some smarter engineer comes along.
