== Placing the Parts==
Create and place the above parts on the [[Schematic Editor]] and connect them as shown in the opposite figure. Keep in mind that you can create and place these parts either using the indicated [[Keyboard Shortcuts|keyboard shortcuts]], or from the "RF Menu" of [[RF.Spice]] or from the "Parts Bin" tab of the Toolbox on the left side panel. Also, instead of an "AC Voltage Source", you may simply choose to place a regular voltage source and check its AC "Use" checkbox in its property dialog just like in all other AC circuits of [[B2.Spice A/D]]. Both methods create the same type of AC source. As you can see from the circuit figure, it is very important to ground both the input and output negative pins of the Generic T-Line device (i.e. P1- and P2-).

Next, open up the property dialog of the T-Line part by double-clicking on its symbol in the [[Schematic Editor]]. You will see a list of the device's [[parameters]]. You will keep the default characteristic impedance value of Z0 = 50Ω, the default effective permittivity value of eeff = 1.0, and the default zero attenuation constant. Change the length of the line segment to 75mm. To do so, select the "len" row in the parameter list, and type in the value 75 to replace the default 10, and click the "Accept Value" button of the dialog.
