Remark on relative permittivity (relative dielectric constant) � r using lines:<br />
If the line consist of microstrip, stripline or other planar line, use effective relative permittivity � re .<br />
� re is a function of substrate � r , W/h, t and frequency.<br />
For microstrip lines it can be approximated by<br />
t �0 f �0<br />
