Open Wire Line Impedance Calculator
- Choose the line structure to be calculated, and then fill in the relative
permittivity of the dielectric and the dimension parameters.
- Select the Z0 button to calculate the characteristic impedance of
the corresponding line.
If you leave the relative permittivity Er blank, a default line
dimension will be used, and the characteristic impedance
is calculated after selecting the Z0 button.
Equations used to make these calculations can be found in the book [1],
and are also provided below the corresponding structure.
1. Single wire above ground
2. Balanced two-wire line

THE FORMULAS ARE APPROXIMATIONS!
They should not be used when a high degree
of accuracy is required.
