Description

Use the bendMitered object to create a mitered bend shape on the X-Y plane.

Note

This shape object supports behavioral modeling. For more information, see Behavioral Models.

Creation

Syntax

bend = bendMitered
bend = bendMitered(Name=Value)

Description

bend = bendMitered creates a mitered bend shape on the X-Y plane.

example

bend = bendMitered(Name=Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value arguments. For example, bendMitered(ReferencePoint=[1 1]) creates a mitered bend shape with the reference point at [1 1]. Properties not specified retain their default values.

Create a mitered bend with default properties.

bend = bendMitered
bend = 
  bendMitered with properties:

              Name: 'myMiteredbend'
    ReferencePoint: [0 0]
            Length: [0.0100 0.0100]
             Width: [0.0050 0.0050]
     MiterDiagonal: 0.0035

View the shape.

show(bend)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (mm), ylabel y (mm) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, myMiteredbend.

Create a mitered bend shape of lengths of 10 m and 2 m, width of 2 m, and rotate it about the Z-axis by 60 degrees.

bend = bendMitered(Length=[10 2],Width=[2 2],MiterDiagonal=1);
bend = rotateZ(bend,60)
bend = 
  bendMitered with properties:

              Name: 'myMiteredbend'
    ReferencePoint: [0 0]
            Length: [10 2]
             Width: [2 2]
     MiterDiagonal: 1


show(bend)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (m), ylabel y (m) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, myMiteredbend.

Mesh the mitered bend shape at a maximum edge length of 1 m.

mesh(bend,MaxEdgeLength=1)

Create mitered bend microstrip.

m = design(microstripLine,6e9,"Z0",75);
layer2d = bendMitered('Length',[m.Length/2 m.Length/2],...
"Width",[m.Width m.Width],'MiterDiagonal',sqrt(2)*m.Width);
robj = pcbComponent(layer2d);
robj.BoardThickness = m.Substrate.Thickness;
robj.Layers{2} = m.Substrate;
show(robj)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title pcbComponent element, xlabel x (mm), ylabel y (mm) contains 7 objects of type patch, surface. These objects represent PEC, feed, Teflon.

Compute and plot s-parameters.

freq = (1:2:60)*100e6;
Sckt = sparameters(robj,freq,'Behavioral',true);
Sem = sparameters(robj,freq);
rfplot(Sckt,1,1,'db','-s')
hold on
rfplot(Sem,1,1,'db','-x')
