The microstrip transmission line is composed of a thin conducting metal strip of width Wo, thickness T and length L placed on a nonmagnetic dielectric substrate that is in turn placed on a conducting metal ground-plane. The substrate has thickness T and relative permittivity εr. Above the conducting strip is a second dielectric material, air. The advantages of using the microstrip transmission line is that it is well suited for the printed circuit (PCB) fabrication process, and because the strip conductor is exposed on the top side, component mounting is relatively easy. USMZ50C-15-030050 50 ohm microstrip transmission lines are basic building blocks designed to be used in chip and wire microwave hybrid circuits. 50 ohms microstrip transmission lines are available in different alumina ceramic thicknesses and different widths and lengths. 50 ohm microstrip transmission lines offer the designer complete flexibility and repeatability for the most challenging RF and microwave applications. Transmission lines in USMZ50C-15-030050 series are terminated within <2 mils from edge of ceramic to avoid gold pile up caused by dicing operation. Gold pile up may interfire with wire bonding in some applications. USMZ50C-15-030050 series of 50Ω transmission lines is also available in custom sized at no additional cost. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION: SEMICONDUCTOR - THIN FILM MANUFACTURING All thin film microwave products are manufactured using advanced semiconductors and thin film technologies including ultra-stable and self passivating Tantalum Nitride resistors, gold interconnect metallization and reliable MNOS capacitors to achieve excellent uniformity, performance and reliability. Thin film technology is the preferred solution for all applications that require low noise, long term stability and excellent performance at very high frequencies. US Microwaves employs proprietary thin film technologies for deposition of a wide range of resistive films with sheet resistance films from 1Ω/sq to 10,000Ω/sq.

The microstrip transmission line is composed of a thin conducting metal strip of width Wo, thickness T and length L placed on a nonmagnetic dielectric substrate that is in turn placed on a conducting metal ground-plane. The substrate has thickness T and relative permittivity εr. Above the conducting strip is a second dielectric material, air. The advantages of using the microstrip transmission line is that it is well suited for the printed circuit (PCB) fabrication process, and because the strip conductor is exposed on the top side, component mounting is relatively easy. USMZ50C-15-030250 50 ohm microstrip transmission lines are basic building blocks designed to be used in chip and wire microwave hybrid circuits. 50 ohms microstrip transmission lines are available in different alumina ceramic thicknesses and different widths and lengths. 50 ohm microstrip transmission lines offer the designer complete flexibility and repeatability for the most challenging RF and microwave applications. Transmission lines in USMZ50C-15-030250 series are terminated within <2 mils from edge of ceramic to avoid gold pile up caused by dicing operation. Gold pile up may interfire with wire bonding in some applications. USMZ50C-15-030250 series of 50Ω transmission lines is also available in custom sized at no additional cost. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION: SEMICONDUCTOR - THIN FILM MANUFACTURING All thin film microwave products are manufactured using advanced semiconductors and thin film technologies including ultra-stable and self passivating Tantalum Nitride resistors, gold interconnect metallization and reliable MNOS capacitors to achieve excellent uniformity, performance and reliability. Thin film technology is the preferred solution for all applications that require low noise, long term stability and excellent performance at very high frequencies. US Microwaves employs proprietary thin film technologies for deposition of a wide range of resistive films with sheet resistance films from 1Ω/sq to 10,000Ω/sq.
