13 Location: Dallas Hello With the following parameters,
I am getting different answers with different tools. H = 0.3mm
Er = 4.25 W = 0.56mm T= 32.5um gap = 0.35mm Freq
1842 Mhz With this Agilent Appcad gives 50.2 ohms. AWR Tx line
gives 47 ohms. Following online calculator gives 78 ohms. https://www1.sphere.ne.jp/i-lab/ilab/tool/cpw_e.htm
Don't understand the reason for this difference.

65 Location: Singapore Hi ljoseph, the difference is
the ground plane. I believe that for your first calculation (AppCad
and AWR) you included the groundplane (CPW ground) While the online
calculator is without ground plane. you can double check the
setting thru AppCad and also AWR (CPW and CPW ground). Hope
it helps. Regards, Jean Top imodelit_moderator

I'm with Jeanalmira in his opinion. As for the lower impedance
values you used -most probably- Grounded-Coplanar. While the larger
values is for the conventional coplanar waveguide -without lower ground
plane-. Kindly check this online applet, it is for conventional
coplanar waveguide. https://imodelit.com/ViewDetails.aspx?AID=190
Thanks. Best Regards, imodelit Moderator
