RFConnector
Description
Use the RFConnector
object to create an RF
connector.
Creation
Description
connector = RFConnector
creates an RF connector.
connector = RFConnector(
sets
Properties using one or more
name-value arguments. For example, Name=Value
)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
Flange
— Metal flange
antenna.Rectangle
(default) | antenna.Circle
Metal flange, specified as either: antenna.Rectangle
object or
antenna.Circle
object. The default value is
antenna.Rectangle
whose width and length is 1.5 times the outer
diameter. Located at the feed interface edge of the PCB, the flange ensures an
electrical connection between the coaxial cable shield and the ground layer of the PCB.
The flange will be perpendicular to the conducting layers of the PCB.
Example: connector=RFConnector(Flange=antenna.Circle)
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.
