Figure 4: Comparison between measured (solid lines) and simulated series
impedance per unit length (real and imaginary parts) for thin coplanar strips.
The strips were supported by a 0.08 cm thick [[epsilon]]r = 2.55 substrate, and
the strip dimensions were: d = 0.05 cm, w = 1.3 cm, t = 17 um, and
[[sigma]] = 5.8 x 105 S.cm-

(copper).
: conformal mapping results from eq. 10; Z : imaginary part calculated using
Maxwell reg.; 8 : real part calculated using Maxwell reg.;
: skin effect resistance only (no current crowding).
