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.
