A.5 Configuration of the Two-Port Features

This section describes the configuration of the equivalent circuit as discussed in Section 3.5. The following keywords in the Contact section are available:


Table A.1: Keywords provided in the Contact section.
Keyword Type Default Description
Z0 Real $ 50\,\Omega$ characteristic impedance
parL Real $ 0.0\,$H parasitic inductance for the two-port calculation.
parC Real $ 0.0\,$F parasitic capacitance for the two-port calculation.
parR Real $ 0.0\,\Omega$ parasitic resistance for the two-port calculation.


Thus, all capacitances, inductances, and resistances can be defined in the same way as the keyword Z0:

Device : DeviceDefaults
{
   Phys
   {
      +Collector{ Contact{ Ohmic{ parL =  50 pH; parC =  75 fF; }}}
      +Emitter  { Contact{ Ohmic{ parL =   1 pH; parC =  24 fF; }}}
      +Base     { Contact{ Ohmic{ parL =  75 pH; parC = 150 fF; }}}
   } 
}

Solve
{
   calcTwoPortParameters = yes;

   port1  = "Base";
   port2  = "Collector";
   ground = "Emitter";
}

In the Solve section the configuration of the two-port circuit can be found. The two ports are connected to the base and collector terminal, respectively, and the ground is connected to the emitter terminal. By setting the calcTwoPortParameters to yes, the calculation is enabled.
