O. Lossy Transmission Line

 

Symbol Name: LTLIN

 

Syntax: Oxxx L+ L- R+ R- <model>

 

Example:

 

O1 in 0 out 0 MyLossyTline

.model MyLossyTline LTRA(len=1 R=10 L=1u C=10n)

 

This is a single-conductor lossy transmission line. N1 and N2 are the nodes at port 1. N3 and N4 are the nodes at port 2. A model card is required to define the electrical characteristics of this circuit element.
