Analyze gain, noise figure, IP2, and IP3 of cascaded RF elements and export to RF Blockset
MATLAB Toolstrip: On the Apps tab, under Signal Processing and Communications, click the app icon.
MATLAB command prompt: Enter
rfBudgetAnalyzer
.
The RF Budget Analyzer app accepts 0
Hz as
Input Frequency for a system. You can set the
Input Frequency in the System
Parameters section.
The RF Budget Analyzer app does not accept 0
Hz
as LO Frequency. This is applicable to Modulator and
Demodulator elements.
The output frequencies from the RF Budget Analyzer app are always positive.
The Filter element allows you to use only the 'Transfer
function'
implementation when you set the Filter
Type to 'InverseChebyshev'
in the
Element Parameters pane.
To design an antenna element using the RF Budget Analyzer app, in
the Antenna Element pane, set Antenna Source to
Isotropic radiator
.You can also design an antenna
element using the Antenna Designer app or an antenna object. To use
the Antenna Designer app or the antenna object, you need
Antenna Toolbox™ license.
Antenna elements designed using a default antenna object require larger
memory. To speed up the simulation, design your antenna element at a high
frequency, 2
GHz or more.
