Optical Linear Fiber (FIBER) - INTERCONNECT Element

name

Defines the name of the element.

annotate

Defines whether or not to display annotations on the schematic editor.

enabled

Defines whether or not the element is enabled.

type

Defines the element unique type (read only).

description

A brief description of the elements functionality.

prefix

Defines the element name prefix.

model

Defines the element model name.

library

Defines the element location or source in the library (custom or design kit).

local path

Defines the local path or working folder $LOCAL for the element.

url

An optional URL address pointing to the element online help.

configuration

Defines the bidirectional or unidirectional element configuration.

length

The length of the waveguide.

km*

*std. unit is m

reference frequency

Central frequency of the waveguide. A Taylor expansion around this frequency is performed to estimate the propagation transfer function of the waveguide.

nm*

*std. unit is Hz

attenuation

Defines the attenuation

dB/km*

*std. unit is dB/m

dispersion

Defines the dispersion.

ps/nm/km*

*std. unit is s/m/m

dispersion slope

Defines the dispersion slope.

ps/nm^2/km*

*std. unit is s/m^2/m

modes

List of optical mode labels supported by the element.

single tap filter

Defines whether or not to use a single tap digital filter to represent the element transfer function in time domain.

number of taps estimation

Defines the method used to estimate the number of taps of the digital filter.

filter fit tolerance

Defines the mean square error for the fitting function.

window function

Defines the window type for the digital filter.

number of fir taps

Defines the number of coefficients for digital filter.

maximum number of fir taps

Defines the number of coefficients for digital filter.

filter delay

Defines the time delay equivalent to a number of coefficients for digital filter.

initialize filter taps

Defines whether to use the initial input signal to initialize filter state values or to set them to zero values.

run diagnostic

Enables the frequency response of the designed filter implementation and the ideal frequency response to be generated as results.

diagnostic size

The number of frequency points used when calculating the filter frequency response.
