LinearStepResp (Linear Response from Frequency Response)

Symbol

Parameters

start = start time for output data, ns
stop = stop time for output data, ns
step = step time, ps
trise = step rise time, ps (10 to 90%)
Z0 = impedance of transmit and receive ports
Reference_Line_delay = Reference line time delay
magnitude = step amplitude at transmit port

Notes

1. A template using this item can be accessed by selecting Insert > Template > LinearStepRespT from the Schematic window.
2. LinearStepResp emulates an instrument for measuring the reflection and transmission of a network. The test signal is a step waveform, whose characteristics you specify. There is one source port, and five receive ports. The source port is also used to measure the reflected signal. The simulation is carried out in the frequency domain, and the frequency-domain data is post-processed via the ts() function to get time-domain responses. If any nonlinear elements are included in the network being simulated, they will be modeled as linear elements, linearized around their bias points. The example, RF_Board/TDRcrosstalk_prj shows this component applied.
3. This is a simulation component. No other simulation or control components are needed.
