DynamicNetwork

rfnetwork.network.DynamicNetwork

class rfnetwork.network.DynamicNetwork(components, nodes=[], cascades=[], probes={}, shunt=False, passive=False, state={})

Network that allows the netlist to be defined at runtime instead of statically declared.

Parameters

componentsdict: dictionary of Component objects where the keys are the reference designators.
nodeslist: list of tuples, where each tuple is a group of component ports that are connected into a single node.
cascadeslist: list of tuples, where each tuple is a group of components that are connected end to end, port 2 to port 1.
probes: dict: dictionary of probe names to the component port they attach to. Probe voltage waves are defined as the wave leaving the component from the specified port. For example, dict(probe1=c1|1), would attach a probe to port 1 of the “c1” component. Probe names will appear in the coords of the “b” dimension of s-matrix data returned by evaluate.
shuntbool, default: False: If True, port 2 is connected to ground and port 1 is transformed into a 2-port component that can be cascaded with other components.
passivebool, default: True: if True, evaluate calls evaluate_sdata instead of evaluate_data and noise correlation matrix is computed passively.
statedict, optional: dictionary of state variables specific to each component. Keys must be component designators. The state values can be read with the state property and changed later with set_state(). Attempting to set the state of variables that were not included in the initial dictionary will raise an error.
