Microstrip Wizard

ICON: Us1p icon.png

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

SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In EM.Tempo and EM.Picasso, this wizard creates a one-port open-ended microstrip transmission line segment. In EM.Ferma, it sets up a 2D solution plane for quasi-static analysis of the microstrip transmission line.


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 0.0015 substrate height (thickness)
er real numeric - 2.2 substrate relative permittivity
z0 real numeric Ohms 50 characteristic impedance
strip_len real numeric meters - length of the 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 & EM.Ferma)
sub_wid real numeric meters - width of substrate (only in EM.Tempo & EM.Ferma)
draw_substrate Boolean - True Adds substrate & ground plane

Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) Wizard

ICON: Cpw1p icon.png

MENU: Tools → Transmission Line Wizards → Coplanar Waveguide

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

FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a coplanar waveguide segment on a single-layer dielectric substrate in the project workspace

SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In EM.Tempo and EM.Picasso, this wizard creates a one-port open-ended CPW transmission line segment. In EM.Ferma, it sets up a 2D solution plane for quasi-static analysis of the CPW transmission line.


PYTHON COMMAND(S):

emag_cpw_tempo(h,er,strip_wid,slot_wid,strip_len,sub_len,sub_wid,draw_substrate)

emag_cpw_picasso(h,er,w,s,ls,lf)

emag_cpw_ferma(h,er,s,w,box_multiplier,draw_substrate)


MICROSTRIP WIZARD PARAMETERS

Parameter Name Value Type Units Default Value Notes
h real numeric project units 0.0015 substrate height (thickness)
er real numeric - 2.2 substrate relative permittivity
strip_wid real numeric meters 0.002 width of the center strip
slot_wid real numeric meters 0.002 width of the slots
strip_len real numeric meters - length of the line segment (only in EM.Tempo & EM.Picasso)
sub_len real numeric meters - length of substrate (only in EM.Tempo & EM.Ferma)
sub_wid real numeric meters - width of substrate (only in EM.Tempo & EM.Ferma)
draw_substrate Boolean - True Adds substrate & ground plane
