skrf.media.coaxial.Coaxial.short

Coaxial.short(nports=1, z0=None, **kwargs)

Short (\(\Gamma_0 = -1\))

For s_def = ‘power’ (\(-Z_{ref}^*/Z_{ref}\))

Parameters:

• nports (int) – number of ports

• **kwargs (key word arguments passed to load().)

• z0 (number, or array-like or None) – port impedance. This sets the resultant Network’s z0. Default is None, the Media’s z0_port value is used. If z0_port is also None (by default), in which case the Media’s native z0 is used. A Media’s z0_port is an optional attribute for renormalizing resultant Network to a new reference impedance that differs from a Media’s native z0.

Returns:

match – a n-port short circuit

Return type:

Network object

Notes

This calls

load(-1.0, nports, **kwargs)
