Results for “semiconductor”

Wilkinson, branchline, ratrace, directional couplers, corporate dividers, Rotman lenses for power splitting and beam-forming. TRIGGER: user asks to design, create, or analyze any coupler, splitter, power divider, combiner, or Rotman lens. Invoke BEFORE writing code — class names and design() availability vary per coupler type. SKIP: EM simulation/S-parameter extraction of an existing component (use matlab-analyze-em), building custom non-catalog geometry (use matlab-assemble-pcb-layout), material/stackup setup only (use matlab-manage-pcb-material), cascading multiple components (use matlab-integrate-pcb-circuit).

Spiral inductors, interdigital capacitors, baluns, resonators, phase shifters for impedance matching, DC blocking, and bias tees. TRIGGER: user asks to design or create a spiral inductor, interdigital capacitor, balun, resonator, phase shifter, or other passive RF component. Invoke BEFORE writing code — class names and property patterns are non-obvious. SKIP: filter design (use matlab-design-pcb-filter), coupler/splitter design (use matlab-design-pcb-coupler), transmission line design (use matlab-design-pcb-transmission-line), EM analysis (use matlab-analyze-em), material setup only (use matlab-manage-pcb-material).

Analyzes codebases to generate detailed technology stack blueprints with version information, licensing, usage patterns, coding conventions, and architecture diagrams.

Cascade PCB components, add lumped elements, export Touchstone, and bridge to eye diagram or antenna array workflows. TRIGGER: user asks to cascade or connect multiple RF PCB components, add lumped R/L/C, export S-parameters to Touchstone, or combine PCB elements into a circuit. Invoke BEFORE writing pcbcascade or circuit code — cascade rules and port matching are non-obvious. SKIP: designing individual components (use the specific matlab-design-pcb-* skill), EM analysis of a single component (use matlab-analyze-em), material/stackup setup only (use matlab-manage-pcb-material), optimization (use matlab-optimize-pcb-design).

Optimize RF PCB dimensions for bandwidth, return loss, or area via patternsearch and surrogateopt with constraints. TRIGGER: user asks to optimize an RF PCB component for performance (bandwidth, return loss, insertion loss, area) or apply constraints to a design. Invoke BEFORE writing optimization code — RF PCB Toolbox has a built-in optimize() function that differs from generic fmincon/ga approaches. SKIP: designing a component from scratch without an optimization objective (use the specific matlab-design-pcb-* skill), EM analysis without optimization (use matlab-analyze-em), material/stackup setup only (use matlab-manage-pcb-material).
