# 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.
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 →
34 tools that let Claude Code & Cline drive RFlect programmatically.
Standard Procedures →
One call:
process_folder(...). Passive / active / cal-drift / UWB / auto.
AI Features →
OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama. Chat over your data. AI-augmented DOCX reports.
Hardware & Formats →
WTL chambers, Touchstone .s2p, S2VNA CSV, CST — the full input/output matrix.
Built for the way RF labs actually work¶
- GUI — desktop app (Tk-based, dark theme) for interactive review
- MCP server — 34 tools that let Claude Code, Cline, and other AI clients drive RFlect programmatically
- AI-assisted reports — DOCX with embedded plots, gain tables, and optional LLM-generated executive summaries (OpenAI / Anthropic / Ollama)
- Cal-drift tracker — record TRP-Cal runs over time, compare across epochs, flag setup-group mismatches
