flex_rf.tidy3d.RLCNetwork

Type: class │ Base(s): MicrowaveBaseModel

Description

Class for representing a simple network consisting of a resistor, capacitor, and inductor. Provides additional functionality for representing the network as an equivalent medium.

Notes

Implementation is based on the equivalent medium introduced by [1].

Example(s)

RL_series = RLCNetwork(resistance=75,
                       inductance=1e-9,
                       network_topology="series")
