Circuit Elements¶
- impedance.models.circuits.elements.C(p, f)[source]¶
defines a capacitor
\[Z = \frac{1}{C \times j 2 \pi f}\]
- impedance.models.circuits.elements.CPE(p, f)[source]¶
defines a constant phase element
Notes
\[Z = \frac{1}{Q \times (j 2 \pi f)^\alpha}\]where \(Q\) = p[0] and \(\alpha\) = p[1].
- impedance.models.circuits.elements.G(p, f)[source]¶
defines a Gerischer Element as represented in [1]
Notes
\[Z = \frac{R_G}{\sqrt{1 + j \, 2 \pi f \, t_G}}\]where \(R_G\) = p[0] and \(t_G\) = p[1]
Gerischer impedance is also commonly represented as [2]:
\[Z = \frac{Z_o}{\sqrt{K+ j \, 2 \pi f}}\]where \(Z_o = \frac{R_G}{\sqrt{t_G}}\) and \(K = \frac{1}{t_G}\) with units \(\Omega sec^{1/2}\) and \(sec^{-1}\) , respectively.

- impedance.models.circuits.elements.element(num_params, units, overwrite=False)[source]¶
decorator to store metadata for a circuit element
- Parameters
