Blurb review

[edit]

Any comments or changes for this suggested TFA blurb? - Dank (push to talk) 01:42, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Planar transmission lines are transmission lines with conductors, or in some cases dielectric (insulating) strips, that are flat, ribbon-shaped lines. They are used to interconnect components on printed circuits and integrated circuits working at microwave frequencies because the planar type is suited to the manufacturing methods for these components. According to transmission line theory, these lines are useful when the wire is longer than a large fraction of a wavelength; at microwave frequencies, this distance is measured in millimetres. The cross-section of the line is usually kept constant so that its electrical behaviour is highly predictable. The first planar transmission line, the stripline, was conceived during World War II by Robert M. Barrett; other types in modern use include the microstrip, the suspended stripline, and the coplanar waveguide. These lines can be used for constructing components as well as interconnecting them.

I'm going to suggest this,

Planar transmission lines are transmission lines with conductors, or in some cases dielectric (insulating) strips, that are flat, ribbon-shaped lines.

Transmission line theory is used when the line is longer than a large fraction of a wavelength. At microwave frequencies, this distance is measured in millimetres, which is small enough that these lines can be used for constructing components as well as interconnecting them.
