matlab-optimize-pcb-design

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you efficiently tune RF PCB component dimensions so your design meets bandwidth and S-parameter targets while avoiding slow, error-prone manual optimization loops.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guides correct optimization entry point: Uses the RF PCB Toolbox built-in optimize() workflow rather than generic optimizers called directly.
• Supports global and local solvers: Works with sadea, trsadea, patternsearch, and surrogateopt through the optimize() interface.
• Enforces S-parameter constraints: Applies feasibility constraints like S11 below a threshold and S21 above a threshold across a frequency vector.
• Enables objective-driven tradeoffs: Optimizes for outcomes such as maximize return loss, maximize bandwidth, or minimize area, or uses a custom objective function tied to EM results.

Quick Start

Use matlab-optimize-pcb-design to optimize the dimensions of an RF PCB component for your target frequency by defining the objective, bounds, and S-parameter constraints, then run validate analysis with the optimized design.
