Notes

1. MStub designs a microstrip open or short circuited stub given the substrate, desired characteristic impedance, and physical or electrical length. The design realizes the native MLOC, MLSC, and MLEF components.
2. Only one of Lphys, Lelec, Xin, Cin, and Lin can be non-zero.
3. Since the design uses the models inherent to ADS to compute the line width and length, there is no need for a dedicated Simulation Assistant, Optimization Assistant, or Display Assistant.
4. For proper operation, only one of Lphys, Lelec, Xin, Cin, and Lin can be non-zero.
5. StubType can be either Open Circuit (MLOC), End Effect (MLEF), or Short Circuit (MLSC). Refer to the discussion of these components in the Microstrip Components documentation for a more detailed description of these different options.
6. A SmartComponent subnetwork is empty until the Design Assistant is used to generate the design. Refer to Design Assistant.
