RF Toolbox

RF Toolbox™ functions and apps for designing, modeling, analyzing, and visualizing radio frequency (RF) networks used in wireless communications, radar, and signal integrity applications.

You can model RF networks—including filters, transmission lines, amplifiers, and mixers—using measurement data, network parameters, RF system parameters, or physical properties. Idealized baseband models enable you to perform high-level simulation of RF components for integration with system-level testbenches and DSP algorithm development. The RF Budget Analyzer app lets you analyze gain, noise, and power budget of transceiver chains and generate RF Blockset™ models.

You can analyze and convert S, Y, Z, T network parameters, and visualize the results using Cartesian plots, polar plots, or Smith Charts. You can also de-embed, check, and enforce passivity, and compute group and phase delay. Rational function fitting lets you model interconnects and export them to Simulink®, SPICE, or Verilog®-A .
