The driving-point resistance undulates between ~00 and 300Ω from 200 GHz to 1 THz—much higher than the 72Ω value from Booker's modified formula, but quite beneficial for coupling to high-impedance broadband devices N1 - exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=736), last updated on Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:03:51 -0600 ID - Brown_etal2006 ER -
