skrf.media.coaxial.Coaxial¶
- class skrf.media.coaxial.Coaxial(frequency=None, z0=None, Dint=0.00081, Dout=0.005, epsilon_r=1, tan_delta=0, sigma=1e+99, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶
A coaxial transmission line defined in terms of its inner/outer diameters and permittivity.
- Parameters
frequency (
Frequency
object) – Frequency band.z0 (number, array-like, or None) – the port impedance for media. Only needed if its different from the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. if z0 is None then will default to Z0
Dint (number, or array-like) – inner conductor diameter, in m
Dout (number, or array-like) – outer conductor diameter, in m
epsilon_r (number, or array-like, optional) – relative permittivity of the dielectric medium. Default is 1.
tan_delta (number, or array-like, optional) – loss tangent of the dielectric medium. Default is 0.
sigma (number, or array-like, optional.) – conductors electrical conductivity, in S/m. Default is infinity (non lossy metal).
TODO : different conductivity in case of different conductor kind
Note
Dint, Dout, epsilon_r, tan_delta, sigma can all be vectors as long as they are the same length
