What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you set up RF PCB dielectric substrates, metal conductors, and multi-layer stackups with correct loss/dispersion behavior so your MATLAB RF designs use physically realistic materials instead of defaults or wrong APIs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dielectric setup (catalog or custom): Create
dielectric(...) objects for common materials like FR4, Teflon, and Rogers, or define missing vendor materials with explicit EpsilonR, LossTangent, and Thickness.
- Metal conductor setup (catalog or custom): Create
metal(...) objects (for example metal("Copper")) to enable realistic conductor loss modeling instead of the PEC default.
- Wideband dispersion modeling: Configure frequency-dependent loss using
FrequencyModel (commonly DjordjevicSarkar) and evaluate properties with getMaterialProperties.
- Multi-layer stackups: Build layered dielectric stacks by supplying multiple dielectric layers and thicknesses for components that accept
Substrate/Layers.
Quick Start
Ask your agent to set up the RF PCB substrate and conductor materials for your design using this Skill before writing any dielectric() or metal() code.
