PCB Cross Section View
PCB dielectric between RF traces and RF ground
layers should be chosen to reduce RF
discontinuities between 50 Ω lines and package
pins. M/A-COM recommends an FR-4 dielectric
thickness of 0.008” (0.2 mm) yielding a 50 Ω line
width of 0.015” (0.38 mm). The recommended
metallization thickness is 1 oz. Copper.
