# RF Toolbox and RF Blockset Design, analyze, and simulate RF systems in MATLAB -- from measured S-parameter data through full time-domain Circuit Envelope simulation. One unified workflow covering passive networks, active device characterization, system cascade budgets, and behavioral time-domain modeling. ## When to Use **Measured data workflows** - Loading Touchstone files (.s1p through .snp), validating quality (passivity, causality, IEEE P370) - Plotting on Smith charts and rectangular plots, interpolating, re-referencing impedance - Converting between S, Z, Y, ABCD, T, H, G parameters; computing mixed-mode differential - Cascading and de-embedding S-parameter networks; fixture removal **System design and analysis** - Building RF signal chains from behavioral elements (amplifier, modulator, rffilter, nport, etc.) - Computing cascaded gain, noise figure, IP3, SNR, output power with rfbudget - Comparing Friis vs Harmonic Balance solver accuracy - Exporting to RF Blockset Simulink models, Communications Toolbox, or MATLAB scripts **Circuit-level design** - Composing arbitrary RF circuits with node wiring (SPICE-like netlist) - Designing impedance matching networks (L, Pi, Tee top

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-model-rf --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.
