Compute, build and visualize RF attenuator circuits.

attenuatorDesigner computes, builds and visualizes RF attenuator circuits based on 7 supported topologies,

attenuatorDesigner computes the resistor values to build an attenuator using series and shunt resistor object of RF toolbox for the specified topology and system impedance. The following topologies are supported by this designer;

L

U

Tee

H

O

Pi

Bridged Tee

If required attenuation level is not specified, default value of 3dB is assumed for computing resistances.

Typical call :

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Topology','BridgedTee','Impedance',50,'Attenuation',5)

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Topology','L','Impedance',50,'Attenuation',5)

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Topology','U','Impedance',50,'Attenuation',5)

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Topology','Tee','Impedance',50,'Attenuation',5)

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Topology','H','Impedance',50,'Attenuation',5)

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Topology','O','Impedance',50,'Attenuation',5)

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Topology','Pi','Impedance',50,'Attenuation',5)

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Topology','Pi')

[designerObj,attenuatorNetwork] = attenuatorDesigner('Attenuation',5)
