CoupledLineTee

class CoupledLineTee(design: QDesign, name: str = None, options: Dict = None, make=True, component_template: Dict = None)

Generates a three pin (+) structure comprised of a primary two pin CPW transmission line, and a secondary one pin neighboring CPW transmission line that is capacitively/inductively coupled to the primary. Such a structure can be used, as an example, for generating CPW resonator hangars off of a transmission line.

Inherits QComponent class.

Default Options:

• prime_width: ‘10um’ – The width of the trace of the two pin CPW transmission line

• prime_gap: ‘6um’ – The dielectric gap of the two pin CPW transmission line

• second_width: ‘10um’ – The width of the trace of the one pin CPW transmission line

• second_gap: ‘6um’ – The dielectric gap of the one pin CPW transmission line

• coupling_space: ‘3um’ – The amount of ground plane between the two transmission lines

• coupling_length: ‘100um’ – The length of parallel between the two transmission lines note: this includes the distance of the curved second of the second line

• down_length: ‘100um’ – The length of the hanging part of the resonator, including the curved region

• fillet: ‘25um’

• mirror: False – Flips the hanger around the y-axis

• open_termination: True – sets if the termination of the second line at the coupling side is an open to ground or short to ground

Create a new Metal component and adds it’s default_options to the design.

Parameters:

• design (QDesign) – The parent design.

• name (str) – Name of the component. Auto-named if possible.

• options (dict) – User options that will override the defaults. Defaults to None.

• make (bool) – True if the make function should be called at the end of the init. Options be used in the make function to create the geometry. Defaults to True.

• component_template (dict) – User can overwrite the template options for the component that will be stored in the design, in design.template, and used every time a new component is instantiated. Defaults to None.

Raises:

ValueError – User supplied design isn’t a QDesign

Note: Information copied from QDesign class.

self._design.overwrite_enabled (bool): When True - If the string name, used for component, already exists in the design, the existing component will be deleted from design, and new component will be generated with the same name and newly generated component_id, and then added to design.

When False - If the string name, used for component, already exists in the design, the existing component will be kept in the design, and current component will not be generated, nor will be added to the design. The variable design.self.status will still be NotBuilt, as opposed to Initialization Successful.

Either True or False - If string name, used for component, is NOT being used in the design, a component will be generated and added to design using the name.
