tidy3d.plugins.smatrix.LumpedPort

class LumpedPort

Bases: Box

Class representing a single lumped port

Parameters:

• attrs (dict = {}) – Dictionary storing arbitrary metadata for a Tidy3D object. This dictionary can be freely used by the user for storing data without affecting the operation of Tidy3D as it is not used internally. Note that, unlike regular Tidy3D fields, attrs are mutable. For example, the following is allowed for setting an attr obj.attrs['foo'] = bar. Also note that Tidy3D` will raise a TypeError if attrs contain objects that can not be serialized. One can check if attrs are serializable by calling obj.json().

• center (Tuple[float, float, float] = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)) – [units = um]. Center of object in x, y, and z.

• size (Tuple[NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat]) – [units = um]. Size in x, y, and z directions.

• name (ConstrainedStrValue) – Unique name for the port.

• voltage_axis (Literal[0, 1, 2]) – Specifies the axis along which the E-field line integral is performed when computing the port voltage. The integration axis must lie in the plane of the port.

• impedance (Union[tidycomplex, ComplexNumber] = 50) – [units = ohm]. Reference port impedance for scattering parameter computation.

• num_grid_cells (Optional[PositiveInt] = 3) – Number of mesh grid cells associated with the port along each direction, which are added through automatic mesh refinement. A value of None will turn off automatic mesh refinement.

Attributes
