Syntax

catalog = DielectricCatalog

Description

catalog = DielectricCatalog creates an object handle for the dielectric catalog.

  • To open the dielectric catalog, use open.

  • To see the properties of a dielectric material from the dielectric catalog, use find.

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
