Description

The LC Highpass Tee block models the LC highpass tee network described in the block dialog box, in terms of its frequency-dependent S-parameters.

For each inductor and capacitor in the network, the block first calculates the ABCD-parameters at each frequency contained in the vector of modeling frequencies. For each series circuit, A = 1, B = Z, C = 0, and D = 1, where Z is the impedance of the series circuit. For each shunt, A = 1, B = 0, C = Y, and D = 1, where Y is the admittance of the shunt circuit.

The LC Highpass Tee block then cascades the ABCD-parameters for each circuit element at each of the modeling frequencies, and converts the cascaded parameters to S-parameters using the RF Toolbox™ abcd2s function.

See the Output Port block reference page for information about determining the modeling frequencies.

The LC highpass tee network object is a two-port network as shown in the following circuit diagram.

[L1, L2, L3, ...] is the value of the 'L' property, and [C1, C2, C3, ...] is the value of the 'C' property.

Parameters

Main

Vector containing the inductances, in order from source to load, of all inductors in the network. The inductance vector must contain at least three elements. All values must be strictly positive.

Vector containing the capacitances, in order from source to load, of all capacitors in the network. Its length must be equal to the length of the vector you provide in the Inductance parameter. All values must be strictly positive.

Visualization

When Source of frequency data is User-specified, specify as a vector of frequencies in the Frequency data parameter.

Frequency data range, specified as a vector in hertz.

Dependencies

To set this parameter, first select User-specified in Source of amplifier gain. This selection activates the Visualization Tab which contains Source of frequency data

Reference impedance of the coaxial transmission line, specified as a scalar in ohms.

Type of data plot that you want to produce with your data specified as :

  • X-Y plane — Generate a Cartesian plot of your data versus frequency. To create linear, semi-log, or log-log plots, set the Y scale and X scale accordingly.

  • Composite data—The composite data plot automatically generates four separate plots in one figure window, showing the frequency dependence of several parameters.

  • Polar plane — Generate a polar plot of your data. The block plots only the range of data corresponding to the specified frequencies.

  • Z Smith chart, Y Smith chart, and ZY Smith chart — Generate a Smith® chart of your data. The block plots only the range of data corresponding to the specified frequencies.

Type of parameters to plot, specified as one of the following S11, S12, S21, S22, GroupDelay, GammaIn, GammaOut, VSWRIn, VSWROut, OIP3, IIP3, TF1, TF2, TF3, Gt, Ga, Gp, Gmag, Gmsg, GammaMS, GammaML, K, Delta, Mu or MuPrime. When noise is spectral NF, NFactor and NTemp plotting is possible.
