Syntax

cline = design(clineobj,frequency)
cline = design(___,Name=Value)

Description

cline = design(clineobj,frequency) designs a coupled microstrip transmission line around the specified frequency.

cline = design(___,Name=Value) designs a coupled microstrip transmission line with additional options specified using name-value arguments.

Note

PCB components designed using the design function operate around the specified frequency with a 10-15% tolerance.

Design a coupled microstrip line at 1.8 GHz with an even mode impedance of 60 ohms.

 cline = design(coupledMicrostripLine,1.8e9,Z0e=60);
 show(cline);

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title coupledMicrostripLine element, xlabel x (mm), ylabel y (mm) contains 8 objects of type patch, surface. These objects represent PEC, feed, Teflon.

Plot the S-parameters of the transmission line.

spar = sparameters(cline,1.8e9);
rfplot(spar)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel Frequency (GHz), ylabel Magnitude (dB) contains 16 objects of type line. These objects represent dB(S_{11}), dB(S_{21}), dB(S_{31}), dB(S_{41}), dB(S_{12}), dB(S_{22}), dB(S_{32}), dB(S_{42}), dB(S_{13}), dB(S_{23}), dB(S_{33}), dB(S_{43}), dB(S_{14}), dB(S_{24}), dB(S_{34}), dB(S_{44}).

Input Arguments

collapse all

Coupled microstrip transmission line, specified as a coupledMicrostripLine object.

Example: cline = coupledMicrostripLine; design(cline,2e9) designs a coupled microstrip transmission line around a frequency of 2 GHz.

Design frequency of the transmission line, specified as a real positive scalar in hertz.

Example: 2e9

Data Types: double

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: Z0e=45

Even mode impedance of the transmission line, specified as a positive scalar in ohms.

Data Types: double

Odd mode impedance of the transmission line, specified as a positive scalar in ohms.

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Coupled microstrip transmission line operating around the specified frequency, returned as a coupledMicrostripLine object.
