MRStub (Microstrip Radial Stub) SmartComponent


Symbol

Parameters
Name Description Unit Default
Subst Microstrip substrate name Nonw MSub1
F Design frequency GHz 1
Xin Desired input reactance Ohm 0
Cin Desired input capacitance pF 0
Lin Desired input inductance nH 0
W Width of feed line (set to zero if Z specified) mil 0
Z Characteristic impedance of feed line (set to zero if W specified) Ohm 50
Angle Subtended angle of circular sector None 60
Delta Length added to stub for tuning performance mil 0
Only one of Xin, Cin, and Lin can be non-zero

Notes
  1. MRStub designs a microstrip radial stub given the substrate, desired input reactance, and stub dimensions.
  2. The stub is designed by dividing the radial line into several short segments.
  3. For proper operation, only one of Xin, Cin, and Lin can be non-zero. If all are zero, the stub is designed to provide an open circuit.
  4. Refer to the discussion of the MRSTUB component in the Microstrip Components documentation for a more detailed description of the model used for this component.
  5. The optimization changes the length of the stubs to achieve the desired input reactance.
  6. A SmartComponent subnetwork is empty until the Design Assistant is used to generate the design. Refer to Design Assistant.

Example

A MRStub component was used to design an open circuit stub at a center frequency of 1 GHz. Optimization yielded a value of Delta = -40.092 mil.
