The engineers at Polar have done extensive measurements and calculations on PCB tracks. They have studied many types of transmission line including
ones where the tracks are on layers embedded within the PCB, such as Coplanar Coupled Centred Tracks, Stripline Centred Track and Embedded
Microstrip. Reliable data but you may have to pay for using the calculators.
