Glossary of EM.Cube's Wizards

Microstrip Wizard

ICON:

MENU: Tools → Transmission Line Wizards → Microstrip Line

MODULE(S): EM.Tempo, EM.Picasso, EM.Ferma

FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a microstrip line segment on a conductor-backed single-layer dielectric substrate in the project workspace

PYTHON COMMAND(S):

emag_microstrip_tempo(h,er,z0,strip_len,feed_len,sub_len,sub_wid,draw_substrate)

emag_microstrip_picasso(h,er,z0,strip_len,feed_len)

emag_microstrip_ferma(h,er,z0,box_multiplier,draw_substrate)

MICROSTRIP WIZARD PARAMETERS

Parameter Name	Value Type	Units	Default Value	Notes
h	real numeric	project units	-	substrate height (thickness)
er	real numeric	-	-	substrate relative permittivity
z0	real numeric	Ohms	50	characteristic impedance
strip_len	real numeric	meters	-	length of line segment (only in EM.Tempo & EM.Picasso)
feed_len	real numeric	meters	-	length of feed line (only in EM.Tempo)
sub_len	real numeric	meters	-	length of substrate (only in EM.Tempo)
sub_wid	real numeric	meters	-	width of substrate (only in EM.Tempo)
draw_substrate	Boolean	-	True	Adds substrate & ground plane
