Detailed Description

Used when more than one identical nport device or circuit is needed.

If more than one copy of exactly the same circuit or nport device is needed, it may be desirable to create a single device and then make aliases for the rest. For example, imagine that five identical microstrip sections are needed in a circuit. The best way to do this is to create a single microstrip, and then construct four alias instances from it. If later the microstrip is changed, such as to change the substrate thickness, the alias instances will also change accordingly.

An alias has its own id number so that it can be used in a circuit, but it relies on another device to calculate its sdata. Thus, it doesn't have its own parameters, because it doesn't need any.

const nport::data_info & alias::get_data_info ( ) [inline, virtual]

Refer to the original device to answer this question.... Reimplemented from nport. Definition at line 457 of file nport.h.

alias & alias::operator= ( nport & n )

Assignment operator. We can assign any nport to an alias. Parameters: n   any nport device to be aliased Definition at line 123 of file nport.cc.

void alias::recalc ( ) [inline, private, virtual]

Recalc just gets the data pointer from the original. Reimplemented from nport. Definition at line 438 of file nport.h.

void alias::recalc_S ( ) [inline, private, virtual]

Recalc just gets the data pointer from the original. Reimplemented from nport. Definition at line 441 of file nport.h.
