Description

The U Line (or ULine) component implements a lumped, single-ended, RC transmission line. Each segment consists of a resistance connected from the input to the output of the segment and a capacitance connected from the output of the segment to the common terminal.

To get a symmetric line, the first resistor is split into two parts; the following schematic shows the construction.
