Description

The LC Bandstop Tee block models the LC bandstop tee network described in the block dialog box, in terms of its frequency-dependent S-parameters.

For each inductor and capacitor pair in the network, the block first calculates the ABCD-parameters at each frequency contained in the vector of modeling frequencies. For each series pair, A = 1, B = Z, C = 0, and D = 1, where Z is the impedance of the series pair. For each shunt pair, A = 1, B = 0, C = Y, and D = 1, where Y is the admittance of the shunt pair.

The LC Bandstop Tee block then cascades the ABCD-parameters for each series and shunt pair at each of the modeling frequencies, and converts the cascaded parameters to S-parameters using the RF Toolbox™ abcd2s function.

See the Output Port block for information about determining the modeling frequencies.

The LC bandstop tee network object is a two-port network as shown in the following circuit diagram.

[L₁, L₂, L₃, L₄, ...] is the value of the 'L' property, and [C₁, C₂, C₃, C₄, ...] is the value of the 'C' property.
