RFConnector

Create RF connector

Since R2023b

Description

Use the RFConnector object to create an RF connector.

Creation

Syntax

connector = RFConnector

connector = RFConnector(Name=Value)

Description

connector = RFConnector creates an RF connector.

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

Name — Name of RF Connector

'Connector' (default) | character vector | string scalar

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

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

Data Types: char | string

InnerRadius — Inner radius of connector

0.5e-3 (default) | positive scalar

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

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

Data Types: double

OuterRadius — Outer radius of connector

1.5e-3 (default) | positive scalar

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

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

Data Types: double

EpsilonR — Relative permittivity of waveguide region

1.734106 (default) | positive scalar

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

Example: connector = RFConnector(EpsilonR = 1.534106)

Data Types: double

PinFootprint — Shape of contact footprint between RF connector pin and signal trace

"Taper" (default) | "Rectangular"

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

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

PinLength — Length of RF connector pin

3e-3 (default) | positive scalar

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

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

Impedance — Characteristic impedance of RF connector

50 | positive scalar

This property is read-only.

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

Examples

Default RF Connector

Create a default RF connector.

connector = RFConnector

connector = 
  RFConnector with properties:

            Name: 'Connector'
     InnerRadius: 5.0000e-04
     OuterRadius: 0.0015
          Flange: [1x1 antenna.Rectangle]
        EpsilonR: 1.7341
    PinFootprint: 'Taper'
       PinLength: 0.0030
       Impedance: 50.0000
