Microwave Commands

Microwave layouts consist of placed component instances such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transistors, and the interconnects drawn to connect the components.

You can connect components in a microwave layout with regular layout geometries such as polygons, rectangles, and paths, as well as microwave-specific geometries: transmission lines, bends, and tapers.

You use the microwave commands to create transmission lines, bends, and tapers to connect your components. Microwave commands appear on the Create menu of layout editor.

You can edit microwave objects with the layout editor commands similar to the way you edit paths. You use these commands to change the angle of paths, stretch sections of paths, and reshape a path.
