CLIN - Ideal Coupled Transmission Line
Name | Description | Units | Default Value |
Zoe | Even-mode impedance | Resistance | 69 ohms |
Zoo | Odd-mode impedance | Resistance | 36 ohms |
EL | Electrical length | Degrees | 90º |
F0 | Frequency where EL is specified | Frequency | 1000 MHz |
Model for a pair of lossless symmetric coupled transmission lines. Electrical length is specified in degrees or radians at frequency F0. Coupling is determined by the even and odd mode impedances (Zoe and Zoo).
Given a desired coupling C in decibels, Zoe = Zo * sqrt((1 + k) / (1 - k)) where k = power(10.0, -C/20.0). Zoo can the be found by solving Zoo = Zo * sqrt((1 - k) / (1 + k))
Example: Find Zoe and Zoo for a 10 dB coupler in a 50 ohm system.
First calculate k as k = power(10.0, -10/20) = 0.316
Zoe is found as Zoe = Zo * sqrt((1 + .316) / (1 - .316)) = 69.4 ohms
Zoo is found as Zoo = Zo * sqrt((1 - .316) / (1 + .316)) = 36 ohms
