Stub (electronics) - Short Circuited Stub

Short Circuited Stub

The input impedance of a lossless short circuited line is,

 Z_\mathrm{SC} = j Z_0 \tan(\beta l)\,\!

where j is the imaginary unit, is the characteristic impedance of the line, is the phase constant of the line, and is the physical length of the line.

Thus, depending on whether is positive or negative, the stub will be inductive or capacitive, respectively.

The Length of a stub to act as a capacitor C at an angular frequency of is then given by:


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

The length of a stub to act as an inductor L at the same frequency is given by:


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

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or circuited:

    The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

    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)
