Creation

Description

resonator = resonatorSplitRingSquare creates a microstrip line loaded with a square split-ring resonator on the X-Y plane. The default proprieties are for a design frequency of 5.7 GHz.

example

resonator = resonatorSplitRingSquare(Name=Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value arguments. For example, resonatorSplitRingSquare(RingWidth=0.045) creates a square split-ring resonator with a ring width of 0.045 meters. Properties not specified retain their default values

Note

To enable FEM solver required for the metal shield property, download the Integro-Differential Modeling Framework for MATLAB. To download this add-on:

  1. In the Home tab Environment section, click on Add-Ons. This opens the add-on explorer. You need an active internet connection to download the add-on.

  2. Search for Integro-Differential Modeling Framework for MATLAB and click Install.

  3. To verify if the download is successful, run

    matlab.addons.installedAddons
    in your MATLAB® session command line.

  4. On Windows, to run the IDMF add-on, you must install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). To install WSL, see Install Linux on Windows with WSL.

    The Windows Defender Firewall can block the PostgreSQL server when using the IDMF add-on. To resolve this issue, you can allow the server to communicate on desired networks if the firewall prompts. Alternatively, you can manually add the executable file of the PostgreSQL server located in <matlabroot>\sys\postgresql\win64\PostgreSQL\bin\postgres.exe. For more information, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/risks-of-allowing-apps-through-windows-defender-firewall-654559af-3f54-3dcf-349f-71ccd90bcc5c.

Data Types: logical

This property is read-only.

Metal shield for the PCB component, specified as a shape.Box object. The length and width of the box must be equal to the length and width of the ground plane. The center of the box is at [0 0 Shielding.Height].

Dependencies

To enable the Shielding property, set the IsShielded property to true or 1.

Type of RF connector assembled at the feed locations of the PCB component, specified as a RFConnector object.

Example: Create connector from RFConnector object like this: coaxial = RFConnector adds a coaxial connector.

Dependencies

To enable the Connector property, set the IsShielded property to true or 1.
