How to Calculate the PCB Trace Impedance

Introduction Impedance is a combination of resistance and reactance. We all know that resistance is formed because of resistor and the reactance formed due to the reactive elements inductor and capacitor. Resistance is a DC characteristic meanwhile impedance is AC characteristic which means that the frequency is additionally take part…
