Hi
I am wondering if there are any calculators out there that will provide the width for a 50 ohm transmission line, for different FR4 board thicknesses.
Thank you in advance.

vp1953,
You can use the rfcooltools for this by placing a series t-line component between two ports and playing around with the Height , Er and Width. It is pretty basic. I have not implemented loss tangent yet but that effect is usually a second order effect for most applications.
