matlab-create-rfbudget-elements

To create rfbudget elements, instantiate active components like amplifiers, passive networks like seriesRLC, and S-parameter components using nport. You can then configure these objects consistently to build element arrays for cascade analysis.

You can load measured Touchstone data into an rfbudget cascade by creating an nport object. This S-parameter element integrates measured component data directly into your signal chain for accurate link-budget modeling.

Use specific passive objects like attenuator or shuntRLC for standard network topologies to ensure correct noise figure and gain relationships. Use the generic rfelement when modeling custom active stages or non-standard compression models within the signal chain.

Yes, you can synthesize LC filters by combining rffilter with lcladder objects. This generates rfbudget-compatible passive components for IF shaping or DC blocking within your receiver chain.

Model receiver antenna power by creating an rfantenna object to compute received signal strength. This element applies correct parameter conventions for link-budget antenna modeling within the rfbudget environment.

rfbudget element objects are designed specifically for rfbudget cascade analysis and signal-chain composition. They are subject to rfbudget-only usage constraints and are not intended for circuit topology simulations.
