    Open the metal catalog.

    mc = MetalCatalog;
open(mc)

    Figure Metal Materials contains objects of type uimenu, uitoolbar, uitable.

    List the properties of the metal material Aluminium.

    s = find(mc,'Aluminium')
    s = struct with fields:
            Name: 'Aluminium'
    Conductivity: 37700000
       Thickness: 30
           Units: 'mil'
        Comments: ''

    Use the above metal in a coplanar waveguide.

    m = metal('Aluminium');
waveguide = coplanarWaveguide('Conductor',m)
    waveguide = 
  coplanarWaveguide with properties:

              Length: 0.0231
               Width: 0.0039
             Spacing: 2.0000e-04
          ViaSpacing: [0.0011 0.0070]
         ViaDiameter: 5.0000e-04
              Height: 0.0016
    GroundPlaneWidth: 0.0300
           Substrate: [1×1 dielectric]
           Conductor: [1×1 metal]
          IsShielded: 0

    View the waveguide using show function.

    figure;
show(waveguide)

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title coplanarWaveguide element, xlabel x (mm), ylabel y (mm) contains 48 objects of type patch, surface. These objects represent Aluminium, feed, Teflon.

    Open the dielectric catalog.

    dc = DielectricCatalog;
open(dc)

    Figure Dielectric Materials contains objects of type uimenu, uitoolbar, uitable.

    List the properties of the dielectric substrate Foam.

    s = find(dc,'Foam')
    s = struct with fields:
                     Name: 'Foam'
    Relative_Permittivity: 1.0300
             Loss_Tangent: 1.5000e-04
                Frequency: 50000000
                 Comments: ''

    Use the substrate Foam in coplanar waveguide.

    d = dielectric('Foam');
waveguide = coplanarWaveguide('Substrate',d)
    waveguide = 
  coplanarWaveguide with properties:

              Length: 0.0231
               Width: 0.0039
             Spacing: 2.0000e-04

           Substrate: [1×1 dielectric]
           Conductor: [1×1 metal]
          IsShielded: 0

    View the waveguide.

    figure;
show(waveguide)

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title coplanarWaveguide element, xlabel x (mm), ylabel y (mm) contains 48 objects of type patch, surface. These objects represent PEC, feed, Foam.
