Writing PCB Layouts to Manufacturing Files

When to Use

• Exporting a pcbComponent or pcbStack design to Gerber manufacturing files
• Selecting and configuring RF connectors (SMA, SMB, MMCX, etc.) for PCB export
• Formatting output for specific fabrication services (OSH Park, Seeed, Advanced Circuits)
• Attaching RFConnector objects to catalog components for shielded analysis
• Generating a complete manufacturing package from a MATLAB RF design

When NOT to Use

• Importing Gerber files into MATLAB — use matlab-read-pcb-layout
• Building the PCB design itself — use matlab-assemble-pcb-layout or the designing skills
• Running EM analysis — use matlab-analyze-em
