What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you analyze the electromagnetic (EM) performance of RF PCB components by computing S-parameters and visualizing E/H fields and surface effects to validate designs and select appropriate solver settings.

Core Features & Use Cases

• S-parameter extraction for RF PCB components: Compute insertion/return loss and multi-port S-parameters from MoM or FEM-backed models.
• Solver selection and control: Choose between MoM (default) and FEM via pcbComponent.SolverType, including FEM boundary condition setup (e.g., absorbing vs PML).
• Performance insight via visualization: Visualize E/H fields, surface currents, and charge distributions to diagnose why specs are met or missed.
• Accuracy vs speed tooling: Use interpolating sweeps (interp / interpWithGrad), frequencySweep-driven controlled interpolation, and mesh control (MaxEdgeLength plus memoryEstimate guardrails).
• Behavioral S-parameters for fast estimates: Use Behavioral=true for quick analytic S-parameter exploration where applicable (not for fields/currents/charge).
• Typical workflow fit: After material setup and component/layout creation, run this Skill to validate EM performance before optimization, circuit integration, and layout export.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to compute and plot S-parameters (and optionally fields/currents) for your RF PCB component over your target frequency band, using interpolating sweep and mesh/memory checks as needed.
