Hi,
I'm trying to simulate the kinetic inductance of a superconducting line in MWO EM-Sight. I was planning on doing this using the reactance in the impedance definitions menu however I cant find the precise units MWO uses anywhere, I was wondering if anyone knew?
Another thing that might be a problem is that since I want to model the kinetic inductance id like the total reactance to be frequency dependent I was wondering if anyone knew whether this was possible.

Thanks a lot for the help
 

Not sure if the AWR EM simulator can do this or not...

You could do this with Sonnet Lite by using a "General" metal type, and assigning an Xdc value that gives you the same reactance as the kinetic inductance. It's only going to be valid at one frequency, so if it varies a lot with frequency you'll need to modify Xdc and resimulate at each frequency.

The full version of Sonnet has a kinetic inductance metal definition under the "General" metal type, but it's grayed out for Sonnet Lite, so it must not be available for the free version.

Good luck,

Max
