Stub (electronics) - Open Circuited Stub

Open Circuited Stub

The input impedance of a lossless open circuit stub is given by

 Z_\mathrm{OC} = -j Z_0 \cot (\beta l) \,\!

It follows that whether is positive or negative, the stub will be capacitive or inductive, respectively.

The length of an open circuit stub to act as an Inductor L at an angular frequency of is:


l = \frac{1}{\beta} \left

The length of an open circuit stub to act as a capacitor C at the same frequency is:


l = \frac{1}{\beta} \left

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or circuited:

    Why the jailer does not leave open his prison doors,—why the judge does not dismiss his case,—why the preacher does not dismiss his congregation! It is because they do not obey the hint God gives them, nor accept the pardon which he freely offers to all.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The circuited city of the future will not be the huge hunk of concentrated real estate created by the railway. It will take on a totally new meaning under conditions of very rapid movement. It will be an information megalopolis.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
