coax_syn - Coaxial transmission line synthesis

SYNOPSIS

[a_out, b_out, c_out, er_out, len] = coax_syn(a, b, c, t, rho_a, rho_b, er, tand, len, f, flag)

PARAMETERS

INPUT PARAMETERS

a : radius of inner conductor (meters)
b : inner radius of outer conductor (meters)
c : offset of the inner conductor from the center (meters)
t : thickness of shield (meters)
rho_a : resistivity of inner conductor (ohms/meter)
rho_b : resistivity of outer conductor (ohms/meter)
er : relative permitivitty of dielectric
tand : loss tangent of dielectric
len : physical length of line (meters)
f : operating frequency (Hertz)
flag : indicates which parameters should be optimized
- flag=0 : synthesize a
