LC Card
The LC card specifies complex, series and parallel circuits applied between connector pins and also between a connector pin and ground.
On the Source/Load tab, in the Loads / networks group, click the Load icon. From the drop-down list, click the Load cable (LC) icon.
Parameters:
- Define/replace a load at a cable connector
- Define/replace a load at a cable connector with the following parameters.
- Remove a load at a cable connector
- A load can be removed between two connector pins by defining the Connector label and Pin (ground=0).
- Remove all cable loads previously defined
- All previously defined LC type loads are removed.
- Load name
- The name of the load.
- Define/replace load between
- A load can be placed between two connector pins by defining the connector label with the Connector label text box and the pin number with the Pin (ground = 0) text box.
- Complex impedance
- Define the real and imaginary parts of the complex impedance in Ohm using Real part of impedance (Ohm) and Imaginary part of impedance (Ohm) respectively.
- Series circuit
- The resistor value in Ohm, inductor value in Henry and the capacitor value in Farad to be added as a series circuit.
- Parallel circuit
- The resistor value in Ohm, inductor value in Henry and the capacitor value in Farad to be added as a parallel circuit.
- SPICE circuit
- Specify the name of a one-port SPICE circuit to define a load between two pins. Define the SPICE circuit using the SC card.
- Touchstone file
- Specify a one-port Touchstone file (.s1p,
.z1p, .y1p) to define a load.Note: If the load is added to a port that has a voltage source, the load is placed in series with the voltage source.
