class mwavepy.media.distributedCircuit.DistributedCircuit(frequency, C, I, R, G, *args, **kwargs)

Generic, distributed circuit TEM transmission line

A TEM transmission line, defined in terms of distributed impedance and admittance values. A Distributed Circuit may be defined in terms of the following attributes,

Quantity	Symbol	Property
Distributed Capacitance		C
Distributed Inductance		I
Distributed Resistance		R
Distributed Conductance		G

From these, the following quantities may be calculated, which are functions of angular frequency ():

Quantity	Symbol	Property
Distributed Impedance		Z
Distributed Admittance		Y

from these we can calculate properties which define their wave behavior:

Quantity	Symbol	Method
Characteristic Impedance		Z0()
Propagation Constant		gamma()

Given the following definitions, the components of propagation constant are interpreted as follows:
