Description
The RLCG Transmission Line block models the RLCG transmission line described in the block dialog box in terms of its frequency-dependent resistance, inductance, capacitance, and conductance. The transmission line, which can be lossy or lossless, is treated as a two-port linear network.
where z′ = z + Δz.

The block enables you to model the transmission line as a stub or as a stubless line.
Stubless transmission Line
Not a stub
—Not a stubIf you model a coaxial transmission line as stubless line, the Coaxial Transmission Line block first calculates the ABCD-parameters at each frequency contained in the modeling frequencies vector. It then uses the
abcd2s
function to convert the ABCD-parameters to S-parameters. For more information, see Stub Mode - Not a Stub.
Shunt Transmission Line
Shunt
—This parameter provides a two-port network that consists of a stub transmission line that you can terminate with either a short circuit or an open circuit as shown in these diagrams.Zin is the input impedance of the shunt circuit. The ABCD-parameters for the shunt stub are calculated as

Stub Mode - Not a Stub
This block calculates the ABCD-parameters using the physical length of the transmission line, d, and the complex propagation constant k using the equations:
Z0 and k are vectors whose elements correspond to the elements of f, a vector of modeling frequencies, determined by the Output Port block. Both can be expressed in terms of the resistance (R), inductance (L), conductance (G), and capacitance (C) per unit length (meters)
where
In these equations:
a is the radius of the inner conductor.
b is the radius of the outer conductor.
σcond is the conductivity of the conductor.
μ is the permeability of the dielectric. μ = μ0 μr, where:
μ0 is the permeability in free space.
μr is the Relative permeability constant
The is a complex dielectric constant given by ε = ε′ − јε″= ε′ (1 − јtanδ)
ε′ is the real part of complex dielectric constant ε, ε′ = ε0εr.
ε″ is the imaginary part of complex dielectric constant ε, ε″ = ε0εrtan δ where :
ε0 is the permittivity of free space.
εr is the Relative permittivity constant parameter value.
tan δ is the Loss tangent of dielectric parameter value.
δcond is the skin depth of the conductor, which the block calculates as .
