Syntax

z0_f = getZ0(txline,freq)
[z0,eff_ep] = getZ0(txline)
[z0_f,eff_epf] = getZ0(txline,freq)

Description

z0_f = getZ0(txline,freq) returns the characteristic impedance with dispersion for a transmission line at the specified frequency.

example

[z0,eff_ep] = getZ0(txline) returns the characteristic impedance and effective epsilon without dispersion for a microstrip or coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line.

example

[z0_f,eff_epf] = getZ0(txline,freq)returns the characteristic impedance and effective epsilon with dispersion for a microstrip or CPW transmission line at the specified frequency.
