Creating Bends

You can use the Bend command to create a two-segment transmission line with two different width settings. Bends connect the objects of different sizes, using a right-angle segment instead of a straight line. You create bends similar to the way you create paths.

To create a bend:

  1. In the layout window, choose Create – Microwave – Bend.
  2. Press F3 to open the Transmission Bend form.
  3. Type the beginning and ending widths of the bend in the Side 1 Width and Side 2 Width fields.
  4. Click on the canvas to enter each point of the bend.
    The following is a completed bend.
