# Physbound

> Use this tool when you need to validate RF engineering calculations against fundamental physical laws to catch errors in link budget computations, channel capacity estimates, and noise floor calculations. Physbound takes in RF engineering calculations as input and outputs validation results, ensuring accuracy and reliability. It is particularly useful in contexts where precise wireless communication system design and optimization are critical.

## Description

Physbound is a physical layer linter that validates RF engineering calculations against hard physical laws. It catches common errors in link budget computations, channel capacity estimates, and noise floor calculations by checking claims against the Friis transmission equation, Shannon-Hartley theorem, and thermal noise fundamentals. Validation relies on CODATA physical constants via SciPy and dimensional analysis through Pint.
