Syntax

outelem = clone(inelem)
outckt = clone(inckt)

Description

outelem = clone(inelem) creates a circuit element, outelem, with identical properties as inelem. The clone does not copy information about the parent circuit such as ParentNodes and ParentPath.

example

outckt = clone(inckt) creates a circuit object, outckt, identical to inckt. Circuit elements in the inckt are cloned recursively and added to the same nodes in the outckt. The ports or terminals in the outckt are defined same as inckt.

Create a resistor element. 

hR1 = resistor(50);
disp (hR1)
  resistor: Resistor element

    Resistance: 50
          Name: 'R'
     Terminals: {'p'  'n'}

Clone resistor hR1.

hR2 = clone(hR1);
disp (hR2)
  resistor: Resistor element

    Resistance: 50
          Name: 'R'
     Terminals: {'p'  'n'}

Create a circuit object. Add a resistor and capacitor to it. 

hckt1 = circuit('circuit1');
hC1= add(hckt1,[1 2],capacitor(3e-9));
hR1 = add(hckt1,[2 3],resistor(100));
disp(hckt1)
  circuit: Circuit element

    ElementNames: {'C'  'R'}
        Elements: [1x2 rf.internal.circuit.RLC]
           Nodes: [1 2 3]
            Name: 'circuit1'

Clone the circuit object.

hckt2 = clone(hckt1);
disp (hckt2)
  circuit: Circuit element

    ElementNames: {'C'  'R'}
        Elements: [1x2 rf.internal.circuit.RLC]
           Nodes: [1 2 3]
            Name: 'circuit1'
