The PCB dielectric between RF traces and RF ground layers

should be chosen to reduce RF discontinuities between 50 Ohm

lines and package pins. M/A-COM recommends an FR-4 di-

electric thickness of 0.008” (0.20 mm) yielding a 50 Ohm line

width of 0.015” (0.38 mm). The recommended RF metalization

thickness is 1 ounce copper.
