Surge impedance of microstrip line when effective width is greater than substrate thickness =========================================================================================== The microstrip line is a dielectric substrate on which a metal strip is applied. When a wave propagates along a microstrip line, part of the field goes out, since the microstrip line does not have metal borders on all sides, unlike, for example, rectangular waveguides. **Notation:** #. :math:`Z_0` (:code:`Z_0`) is :attr:`~symplyphysics.quantities.vacuum_impedance`. **Conditions:** #. Effective width :math:`w_\text{eff}` of the microstrip line should be greater than thickness :math:`h` of the substrate. ..
