Description

Use inductor class to create an inductor object that you can add to an existing circuit.

Inductor representation

Creation

Syntax

lobj = inductor(lvalue)
lobj = inductor(lvalue,lname)

Description

example

lobj = inductor(lvalue) creates a inductor object, lobj, with a inductance of lvalue and default name, L. lvalue must be a numeric positive scalar.

example

lobj = inductor(lvalue,lname) creates a inductor object, lobj, with a inductance of lvalue and name lname. lname must be a character vector.

Properties

Inductance, specified as a scalar in henries.

Example: 1e-9

Example: lobj.Inductance = 1e-9

Name of inductor object, specified as a character vector. Two elements in the same circuit cannot have the same name.

Example: 'cap'

Example: lobj.Name = 'indcutor1'

Names of the terminals of inductor object, specified as a cell vector These names are always p and n.

Example: {'p' 'n'}

Example: lobj.Terminals = {'p' 'n'}

Full path of the circuit to which the inductor object belongs, specified as character vector. This path appears only after the inductor is added to the circuit.

Note

"ParentPath" is only displayed after the capacitor has been added

into a circuit.

Parent nodes connected to inductor terminals, specified as a vector of integers. This property appears only after the inductor is added to a circuit.

Example: [1 2]

Example: lobj.ParentNodes = [1 2]

Note

"ParentNodes" are only displayed after the capacitor has been added

into a circuit.

Create an inductor of 3e-9 henry and display the properties.

hL1 = inductor(3e-9);
disp(hL1)
  inductor: Inductor element

    Inductance: 3.0000e-09
          Name: 'L'
     Terminals: {'p'  'n'}
Open Live Script

Create an inductor object and extract the s-parameters of this inductor.

hL = inductor(3e-9,'L3nh');
hckt = circuit('example2');
add(hckt,[1 2],hL)
setports (hckt, [1 0],[2 0])
freq = linspace (1e3,2e3,100);
S = sparameters(hckt,freq);
disp(S)
  sparameters: S-parameters object

       NumPorts: 2
    Frequencies: [100x1 double]
     Parameters: [2x2x100 double]
      Impedance: 50

  rfparam(obj,i,j) returns S-parameter Sij
Open Live Script

Add an inductor to a circuit, display the parent path and parent nodes.

hL = inductor(3e-9,'L3n9');
hckt = circuit('example3');
add(hckt,[1 2],hL)
setports(hckt, [1 0],[2 0])
disp(hL)
  inductor: Inductor element

     Inductance: 3.0000e-09
           Name: 'L3n9'
      Terminals: {'p'  'n'}
    ParentNodes: [1 2]
     ParentPath: 'example3'
