- C. LUMPED ELEMENTS
-
- A total of 27 different types of lumped elements and com-
- binations of lumped elements are available for network topology.
- In all cases, resistances are given in ohms, capacitances in
- picofarads, and inductances in nanohenries. Angles for CCS and
- VCS sources are always positive. A table describing each of
- these elements can be found on pages 6 through 12.
-
- D. FILE ELEMENTS
-
- Four types of file elements are provided. The names of
- the files for these elements are limited to 8 characters. The
- files referred to have been written by the user by use of the
- data file editor or as a result of having saved the response
- S-parameters of a previous problem. Use of the data file edi-
- tor is covered in the following chapter. For the description
- of these element types, refer to the table on page 14.
-
- E. DISTRIBUTED ELEMENTS
-
- Elements consisting of sections of transmission line are
- common throughout high frequency design, and are provided in
- order to give the user the maximum amount of flexibility in
- circuit design. Transmission line, open and shorted stubs,
- and one case of coupled lines are available. Refer to the
- table on page 13 for full details.
-
- F. INTERCONNECTIONS AND TRANSFORMATIONS
-
- Five interconnections and 4 transformations are available
- for arranging elements to form a network. The usage of these
- commands is covered in the following section on creating net-
- works. See pages 15 to 17 for descriptions of these commands.
-
- G. CREATING NETWORKS
-
- Creating a network is a matter of defining the topology
- of the circuit to be analyzed. With schematic in hand, one
- simply defines the circuit in terms of elements; lumped, dis-
- tributed, or file. These are then interconnected using the
