hello ppl,
From the material I have read so far, I understand that a coplanar waveguide can be treated as a microstrip line only beyond a certain "gap" i.e separation between the trace and the ground plane. My question is how to calculate or find out the gap and/or what is the minimum gap that defines whether the assumption of microstrip line is correct or not.
PS: This is related to a Test board I am working on that has baluns on it which I am simulating in ADS momentum. The above question is for my hand calculations
ThanK you
