NAME
QucsTranscalc - A transmission line calculator.
SYNOPSIS
qucstrans [OPTION] ...
DESCRIPTION
Qucs is an integrated circuit simulator which means you are able to
setup a circuit with a graphical user interface (GUI) and simulate the
large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. After
that simulation has finished you can view the simulation results on a
presentation page or window.
The software aims to support all kinds of circuit simulation types,
e.g. DC, AC, S-parameter, harmonic balance analysis, noise analysis,
etc.
QucsTranscalc is the transmission line tool used by Qucs. The
application was somewhat inspired by transcalc by Claudio Girardi and
Gopal Narayanan. It is based on transcalc’s latest CVS version with
some minor fixes incorporated. The GUI has been ported from the GIMP
toolkit (GTK) to Qt.
It is an analysis and synthesis tool for calculating the electrical and
physical properties of different kinds of RF and microwave transmission
lines.
For each type of transmission line, using dialog boxes, the user can
enter values for the various parameters, and either calculate its
electrical properties, or use the given electrical requirements to
synthesize physical parameters of the required transmission line.
Available transmission lines are: Microstrip, Rectangular Waveguide,
Coaxial Line, Coplanar and Coupled Microstrips.
AVAILABILITY
The latest version of Qucs can always be obtained from
www.sourceforge.net or www.freshmeat.net
