MGap (Microstrip Gap Component)

Symbol

Parameters

Name	Description	Unit	Default
Subst	Microstrip substrate name	None	MSub1
F	Design frequency	GHz	1
Zo	Desired characteristic impedance	Ohm	50
S	Length of gap (spacing)	mil	50

Notes

1. MGap designs a microstrip gap given the substrate, desired characteristic impedance, and gap width.
2. Since the design uses the models inherent to ADS to compute the line width, there is no need for a dedicated Simulation Assistant, Optimization Assistant, or Display Assistant.
3. Refer to the discussion of the MGAP component in the Microstrip Components documentation for a detailed description of this component.
4. A SmartComponent subnetwork is empty until the Design Assistant is used to generate the design. Refer to Design Assistant.
