RFConnector

Create RF connector

Since R2023b

Description

Use the RFConnector object to create an RF connector.

Creation

Description

connector = RFConnector creates an RF connector.

example

connector = RFConnector(Name=Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value arguments. For example, RFConnector(InnerRadius=0.016e-3) creates a connector with an inner radius of 16 mm. Properties not specified retain their default values.

Properties

expand all

Name of the RF connector, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

Example: connector = RFConnector(Name = 'Connector1')

Data Types: char | string

Inner radius of the connector in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: connector = RFConnector(InnerRadius = 0.9e-3)

Data Types: double

Outer radius of the connector in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: connector = RFConnector(OuterRadius = 1.9e-3)

Data Types: double

Relative permittivity of the waveguide region, specified as a scalar.

Example: connector = RFConnector(EpsilonR = 1.534106)

Data Types: double

Shape of the contact footprint between the RF connector pin and the signal trace, specified as "Taper" or "Rectangular".

Example: connector = RFConnector(PinFootprint = "Rectangular")

Length of the RF connector pin in meters, specified as a positive scalar.

Example: connector = RFConnector(PinLength=4e-3)

This property is read-only.

Characteristic impedance of the RF connector in ohms, specified as a positive scalar.
