Latex Circuitikz RF Transmission Line Symbols

README.md

About

I couldn't find the style of transmission line symbol I wanted for circuitikz. This is my attempt of implementing it. It is probably not perfect.

Usage

In your preamble (before \begin{document}) do:

\makeatother
\include{definitions.tex}
\makeatletter

Use components, example:

\begin{circuitikz} 
  \draw (0,0) to[zeroohmline=$3$] ++(2,0) to[fancytl,l=$5$,a=$6$] ++(2,0); 
\end{circuitikz}
