APAB — Agentic Phased Array Builder¶

APAB connects an LLM agent to typed engineering tools for phased-array antenna design: full-wave unit-cell simulation with mutual coupling, array patterns, and system-level link metrics. It runs local-first on Ollama by default, and every run produces a reproducible bundle with an audit log, provenance manifest, and OpenTelemetry trace.

apab run: the agent computes an 8x8 pattern, evaluates the link, and writes an audited run bundle

Install¶

pip install "apab[ollama]"            # array + system tools, local LLM
pip install "apab[ollama,edgefem]"    # + full-wave unit-cell solver
pip install "apab[observability]"     # + OpenTelemetry tracing

What APAB is¶

17 MCP tools for unit-cell simulation (EdgeFEM), array patterns, system trades, import/export, and plotting
An agent orchestrator that plans and executes designs from natural-language requests
A recorded workflow: tool calls, token usage, config hashes, and design metrics land in a run bundle you can inspect, score, and replay
Framework-neutral: the same tools drive APAB's own agent, a Strands agent, or a deterministic LangGraph pipeline

What APAB is not¶

APAB does not replace full-wave EM verification or an RF engineer's judgment. It sequences physics tools, enforces the constraints you give it, and shows its work — treat its outputs as engineering analysis to review, not signed-off designs.
