Microstrip Trace-Width Estimator (Rogers)

Estimate the microstrip trace width for a target characteristic impedance on a Rogers substrate, using the IPC-2141 microstrip model. A first-pass number to size your layout — PCBark verifies the final value with TDR on test coupons.

IPC-2141 single-ended microstrip approximation (reference plane below the trace). Real impedance also depends on solder mask, etch tolerance, and copper roughness — always confirm with the fab.
