et = relative dielectric constant of the printed wiring board (PWB)
T = thickness of the printed wiring board
W = width of the stripline conductor
The relative dielectric constant (et) used here differs from the normal dielectric
constant of the material used in the PWB. The relative and normal dielectric con-
stants move closer together for larger values of the ratio W/T.
