How can I export a spiral Archimedean antenna to a DXF or gerber

16 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi all ,
I'm rahter new tho this and I need some help .
I designed a spiral Archimedean antenna with the help of the antenna designer tool .
I would like to convert the design to DXF/STL/gerber to make a PCB of it .
I have tried the "writestl" command but I'm stucked and really don't know how to do it .
Any help is highly appreciated .
Best regards,
kenny

I understand that you're looking to create a PCB from your spiral Archimedean antenna design.
Here's a step-by-step process to convert your design into a format suitable for PCB manufacturing:
Assuming you've already designed your antenna using MATLAB's Antenna Designer app:
1. Export your spiralArchimedean antenna design to the MATLAB workspace using the Export button in the Antenna Designer app.
2. Use the `pcbStack` function to convert the antenna object into a PCB stack representation. This step will allow you to define the metal and dielectric layers for PCB fabrication.
pcb = pcbStack(spiralArchimedean);
3. If your antenna design requires a dielectric layer, add it to your `pcbStack` object. This step is crucial for accurately representing the physical properties of your PCB.
4. Generate the Gerber files needed for PCB manufacturing with the `gerberWrite` function. These files are standard in the industry for PCB fabrication.
gerberWrite(pcb, 'FileName', 'spiralArchimedean');
The code provided above will help you create the necessary files for PCB production. For detailed information on the functions and their usage, please refer to the MATLAB documentation for PCBStack and GerberWrite
