Design microstrip transmission line around specified frequency

Since R2021b

Description

mline = design(mlineobj,frequency) designs a microstrip transmission line around the specified frequency.

example

mline = design(___,Name=Value) designs a 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.

Examples

collapse all

Design a microstrip line around 1.8 GHz and with a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms.

mline = design(microstripLine,1.8e9,Z0=75);
figure;
show(mline); 

Plot the S-parameters of this line.

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

Input Arguments

collapse all

Microstrip transmission line, specified as a microstripLine object.

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

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

Example: 55e6

Data Types: double

Name-Value Arguments

Example: Z0=70

Characteristic impedance of the microstrip transmission line, specified as a positive scalar in ohms.

Data Types: double

Length of the line, specified as a positive scalar in Lambda.

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Microstrip transmission line operating around the specified frequency, returned as a microstripLine object.
