Detailed Description

Coaxial transmission line calculation (TEM mode).

Supports analysis of characteristic impedance, electrical length, conductor and dielectric loss, skin depth, and higher-order mode cutoffs (TE_1m, TM_0m) per Pozar, "Microwave Engineering" 4th ed., section 3.5. Synthesis solves for either the inner or outer diameter given a target characteristic impedance.

inherited

Apply a three-layer (substrate / soldermask / air) correction to an un-coated (eps_eff, tan_delta) pair using the air-replacement decomposition of Bahl and Stuchly 1980, with the mask filling factor computed from Svacina 1992 as improved by Wan and Hoorfar 2000.

eps_eff_coated   = eps_eff_uncoated + Delta q_mask * (eps_mask - 1)
tan_delta_coated = [ q_sub * eps_sub * tan_delta_sub
                     + Delta q_mask * eps_mask * tan_delta_mask ] / eps_eff_coated

q_sub is inferred from eps_eff_uncoated using the standard filling factor relation q_sub = (eps_eff_uncoated - 1) / (eps_sub - 1), which is exact to within the quasi- TEM assumption that produces eps_eff in the first place. Returns the inputs unchanged when SOLDERMASK_PRESENT is 0, the mask thickness is 0, the mask parameters are non-physical, or the subclass reports Delta q_mask <= 0. aF is reserved for a future frequency-dependent mask model and currently unused.
