I'm trying to simulate a simple microstrip line like in the photo. I'm using discrete port as you can see.
In the tree options there is the section of Discrete port --> Impedances.
For Port 2 [1] the real part of the impedance is -50 Ohm
since Z=V/I, I suppose that it's negative because the current and voltage in frequency domain have opposite sign on port 2 [1].
I've seen that if the two discrete ports are in opposite verse the current sign doesn't change while the voltage sign does change.
if the discrete ports have the same verse then the current sign does change while the voltage's sign doesn't change
this doesn't make sense to me. The real part should be positive.
