Equation 1 through Equation 4 can be used to calculate the differential impedance of the board. For microstrip traces, a solid ground plane is needed under the signal traces. The ground plane helps keep the EMI localized and the trace impedance continuous. Because stripline traces are typically sandwiched between the ground/supply planes, they have the advantage of lower EMI radiation and less noise coupling. The trade off of using strip line is lower propagation speed.
