What problem does it solve?
Moving an antenna from design into a working RF system requires impedance matching, pattern data exchange, propagation modeling, and SAR compliance checks, each with subtle MATLAB API pitfalls that cause silent errors or wrong results.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Impedance Matching: Synthesize and rank L, Pi, and Tee matching networks with matchingnetwork, evaluate against S11 and gain goals, and convert lumped designs to distributed elements via the Richards transformation.
- Measured Antennas & Propagation: Build measuredAntenna objects from E-field or directivity data (including CST .ffs and HFSS .ffd imports), then run coverage, SINR, ray tracing, and link budget analysis with txsite/rxsite.
- SAR Estimation: Compute point and mass-averaged SAR using birdcage+Phantom, conformalArray+Custom3D, or direct EHfields workflows, with power balance validation against FCC/ICNIRP limits.
- Use Case: Match a 2.4 GHz patch antenna to 50 ohms, export its pattern as a measuredAntenna, place it on a txsite, and generate a coverage map with signal strength contours.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to design an impedance matching network for your antenna at a given frequency and plot the before-and-after return loss.
