Stripline
Stripline in a PCB is composed of the
conductor inserted in a dielectric with GND
planes to the top and bottom.

planes to the top and bottom.
NOTE: An easy way to distinguish stripline
from microstrip is that you need to
strip away layers of the board to view
the trace on stripline.

Prepreg
Material used for the lamination process of manufacturing PCBs. It consists of a layer of
epoxy material that is placed between two cores. This layer melts into epoxy when heated
and forms around adjacent traces.

Core
Material used for the lamination process of manufacturing PCBs. This material is two sided
laminate with copper on each side. The core is an internal layer that is etched.
