Remove search parameters from rfPartSelector object

Since R2026a

    Description

    remove(rfse,'SelectedSearchParameters',Name=Value) removes search parameters from the RF component selection in a third-party database using one or more name-value arguments.

    Note

    Install the third-party component database containing Analog Devices™ amplifiers and mixers with the installRFParts() command.

    remove(rfse,'DisplayColumns',displayFields) removes the display columns specified in displayFields from the part parameter table.

    example

    remove(rfse,'SelectedSearchParameters','all') resets all the selected search parameters.

    Examples

    collapse all

    Install the 3P component installed database.

    installRFParts()
    

    Select the amplifier from the 3P component installed database. To do this, first create an rfPartSelector object to specify the type of component you want to select.

    rfps = rfPartSelector(Type='Amplifier')
    

    Display all the available amplifier components from this database.

    show(rfps,'all')
    

    The installed database contains 174 amplifiers. Add parameter filters to select the amplifiers that operates with the gain between 12 dB and 20 dB, noise figure between 4 dB and 10 dB, OP1 between 20 dBm and 30 dBm, and OIP3 between 20 dBm to 30 dBm.

    add(rfps,"SelectedSearchParameters","GainRange",[12 20], "NoiseFigureRange",[4 10],"OP1dBRange",[20 30],"OIP3Range",[20 30])
    

    Display the selected amplifiers.

    show(rfps,'selected')
    

    The part parameter table contains 14 columns. Retain only the columns that are relevant to your search criteria. In this example, five parameters are non-relevant and must be removed from the table.

    remove(rfps,"DisplayColumns","OPSAT (dBm)","Voltage (V)", "Current (mA)", "Operating Temp (degC)","Package Type")
    

    Display the selected amplifiers with the updated part parameter table.

    show(rfps,'selected')
    

    Use the rfPart function to create amplifiers from 3P component data. You can either:

    • Select all amplifiers displayed based on your filtering criteria and generate amplifier objects.

    • Choose a specific amplifier that meets your application requirements and create its amplifier object.

    amp = rfPart(rfps,"HMC451LP3")
    

    Build an RF chain that includes this amplifier, a component modeled from a Touchstone file, and an element created using an rfelement object. Then, calculate the RF budget for the complete chain at an input frequency of 6.09 GHz, an available input power of −30 dBm, and a bandwidth of 10 MHz.

    n = nport('passive.s2p');
    r = rfelement(Gain=10);
    b = rfbudget([amp r n],6.09e9,-30,10e6)
    

    The RF budget result as follows:

    b =
