Hi,
I am learning to design matching network with distributed elements. Usually when we design stub matching, we get the line lengths from smith chart. Now when I look at TLIN in ADS it has parameter E(electrical length) and TLINE in virtuoso has delay time. In ADS's smith chart utility also angle (I guess it is electrical length ) is given when stub or line are chosen as matching element. I know there are mathematical relations among these parameters but I am confused why they are not consistent. Someone please clarify. Thanks
