# RFlect **The RF engineer's toolkit for antenna measurement visualization and analysis.**

RFlect turns raw antenna-chamber and VNA output into publication-ready 2D/3D radiation pattern plots, TRP calculations, polarization analysis, UWB characterization, and DOCX reports — all validated against IEEE-standard methods.

Whether you're characterizing a BLE chip antenna, qualifying a cellular array, or tracking calibration drift across multiple chamber sessions, RFlect handles the heavy lifting.

Scan type selection

What you get

Quickstart → Install, import a measurement, render your first plot in under five minutes. User Guide → Active TRP, passive gain, S11, group delay, UWB, polarization, maritime — all the math. MCP Server → 41 tools that let Claude Code & Cline drive RFlect programmatically. Standard Procedures → One call: process_folder(...). Passive / active / cal-drift / UWB / auto. Measurement Types → Every scan type and analysis, its input format, and the MCP tool that drives it. Hardware & Formats → WTL chambers, Touchstone .s2p, S2VNA CSV, CST — the full input/output matrix.

Built for the way RF labs actually work

  • No API key, no subscription, no LLM dependency — RFlect is a deterministic RF analysis + rendering toolkit. Every metric is computed, not generated.
  • MCP server — 41 tools that let Claude Code, Cline, and other MCP clients drive RFlect programmatically. The agent is the LLM; RFlect provides the data and the rendering.
  • GUI — desktop app (Tk-based, dark theme) for interactive review
  • Agent-authored reports — DOCX with embedded plots and gain tables; prose is data-driven by default, or supplied by the driving agent via generate_report's narrative parameter
  • Cal-drift tracker — record TRP-Cal runs over time, compare across epochs, flag setup-group mismatches
