rfbudget Element Objects

Create and configure all rfbudget-compatible elements -- active components (amplifier, modulator, attenuator, phaseshift) and passive networks (seriesRLC, shuntRLC, lcladder, rffilter, nport, transmission lines). These are the building blocks for rfbudget cascade analysis and circuit composition.

When to Use

• Defining amplifiers, mixers, filters, attenuators, phase shifters, antennas for rfbudget
• Creating generic RF components with gain, NF, IP3 specifications
• Synthesizing LC filters with rffilter (Butterworth, Chebyshev)
• Loading measured S-parameter data as nport elements
• Setting up link budgets with rfantenna (EIRP, path loss)
• Creating inline passive networks (DC blocks, bias tees, matching sections) for rfbudget
• Building LC ladder filters for cascade analysis
• Adding transmission line segments to an rfbudget signal chain
