Microstrip Wizard
MENU: Tools â Transmission Line Wizards â 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)

Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) Wizard
MENU: Tools â Transmission Line Wizards â 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)
