=== Defining Active Distributed Multiport Networks ===
EM.Tempo also provides two types of active distributed multiport network devices:
# '''[[Glossary_of_EM.Cube%27s_Materials,_Sources,_Devices_%26_Other_Physical_Object_Types#Active_OneActive_Distributed_One-Port Port_Device | Active Distributed One-Port Device/Circuit]]''' # '''[[Glossary_of_EM.Cube%27s_Materials,_Sources,_Devices_%26_Other_Physical_Object_Types#Active_TwoActive_Distributed_Two-Port Port_Device | Active Distributed Two-Port Device/Circuit]]'''
These Unlike the active lumped devices, these devices are rather distributed and their behavior is similar to a microstrip port source. In other words, the active distributed one-port device requires a rectangle strip object as a host, while the active distributed two-port device requires two rectangle strip objects for its definition. You can choose one of the edges of the strip object for establishing the circuit port. In the case of a two-port device, you need two parallel and end-to-end aligned strip objects.
The circuit behavior of these devices is defined by a Netlist file. Their property dialog provides a text editor for simply writing the Netlist description of the device. You can also import an existing external Netlist file with a ".CIR" or ".TXT" file extension using the button labeled {{key|Load Netlist}}..
