add_slotline

SubstrateManager.add_slotline(dielectric_height: str, dielectric_constant: float | int, dielectric_loss_tangent: float | int, bottom_air_height: str, top_air_height: str, roughness: str = '', metal_material: str = 'copper', metal_thickness: str = '0.7mil', name: str | None = None) → SubstrateDataBlock

Add a slotline substrate data block to the circuit design.

Parameters:

dielectric_heightstr

Dielectric slab height, including units.

dielectric_constantfloat or int

Relative permittivity (epsilon-r) of the dielectric.

dielectric_loss_tangentfloat or int

Loss tangent of the dielectric.

bottom_air_heightstr

Air gap below the dielectric slab, including units.

top_air_heightstr

Air gap above the dielectric slab, including units.

roughnessstr, optional

Conductor surface roughness, including units. The default is "".

metal_materialstr, optional

Conductor material. The default is "copper".

metal_thicknessstr, optional

Conductor thickness, including units. The default is "0.7mil".

namestr, optional

Name of the substrate data block. A unique name is generated when None. The default is None.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modules.substrate_circuit.SubstrateDataBlock

Substrate data block object.

Examples

>>> sub = cir.substrate.add_slotline("1mm", 2.2, 0.0, "5mm", "5mm")
