IMPEDANCE CALCULATION
INTRODUCTION
In modern devices signals are operating at higher
frequencies, rising and falling edges are reduced (1 ns or less), and the frequency is increased (to tens of GHz). This requires the use of printed circuit boards (PCB) with controlled impedance in order to prevent distortion of the signal when it is transmitted over the conductors. A conductor on a PCB is no longer just a track linking the contact pads and vias, but a transmission line that has to transmit a signal with low-loss of shape, amplitude and velocity. When designing a PCB, the developer must determine which layers contain impedance-controlled conductors power reference layers. The developer"s task is to perform preliminary calculations of the PCB structure and design it taking into account the calculated values of the conductor transmission line structures and consider as many as possible. The impedance calculator must use the most accurate formulas for calculation. Controlled impedance of PCBs raises the process of design, material selection, structure and production of PCBs to a new level.BENEFITS OF THE ALTIUM DESIGNER

EXAMPLE OF IMPEDANCE CALCULATION
When designing a board with controlled impedance, engineers need to mini mize manufacturing costs. Therefore, at the initial stage, engineers tend to focus on certain parameters including c onductor thickness and gap. Then, using the selected parameters, the developer attempts to select the appropriate materials a nd PCB stack. There is an example below showing how this can be done using the Altium Designer Layer Stack Manager and i ts impedance calculation capability. It is worth noting that the opposite situation is possible in projects when the PCB stack is a constant and the user must determine the width of the conductor and the gap.Example:
It is necessary to design Edge-Coupled Microstrip on the outer layers of the 6-layer board.Input parameters:
Line width 0.2 mm
Gap between the lines 0.2 mm
100 Ohm impedance, tolerance not more than 5%.
It is necessary to select the stack materials.
