matlab-analyze-antenna-structures
Design and analyze electrically large antenna structures using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox. Covers reflector antennas (parabolic, Cassegrain, Gregorian, offset, corner, cylindrical, spherical, custom STL), reflectarrays and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), antennas installed on platforms (vehicles, aircraft, ships, satellites), and radar cross section (RCS) analysis. Includes solver selection (MoM-PO, PO, MoM, FMM), mesh control, and GPU acceleration. Use when the user wants to design a dish/reflector antenna, reflectarray, analyze an antenna on a platform, or compute RCS.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Antenna Structure Design and Analysis Design, analyze, and visualize electrically large antenna structures — reflector antennas, reflectarrays/RIS, platform-installed antennas, and radar cross section — using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox with appropriate EM solvers for each problem class. ## When to Use **Reflector antennas** - Design a parabolic dish, satellite dish, or prime-focus reflector - Design a Cassegrain or Gregorian dual-reflector system - Design an offset-fed reflector (no blockage) - Design a corner reflector, cylindrical or spherical reflector - Use reflectorCalculator for trade studies - Import custom reflector geometry from STL files **Reflectarrays and RIS** - Design a reflectarray antenna with unit cell phase control - Design a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) with quantized phases - Characterize unit cell reflection phase (S-curve) - Synthesize an aperture phase distribution for beam steering - Verify pattern via pattern multiplication **Installed antennas on platforms** - Mount an antenna on a vehicle, aircraft, ship, satellite, or large structure - Analyze installed antenna patterns, coupling, or efficiency - Load platform geometry from STL/STEP/IGES files

What does the matlab-analyze-antenna-structures skill do?
Design and analyze electrically large antenna structures using MATLAB Antenna Toolbox. Covers reflector antennas (parabolic, Cassegrain, Gregorian, offset, corner, cylindrical, spherical, custom STL), reflectarrays and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), antennas installed on platforms (vehicles, aircraft, ships, satellites), and radar cross section (RCS) analysis.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-analyze-antenna-structures --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit, a repository with 868 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
