New, free RF code - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

I've written a general purpose RF circuit simulation suite (https://sites.google.com/site/circuitmason/) that I'm sharing for free. My code implements a complete GUI path from schematic to simulation to layout; I think it is well documented with several examples. I think a lot of amateurs could use this in their projects, and colleges and high schools could use a tool like this to augment their programs. Simulation using free software plus an existing computer infrastructure is a lot cheaper than equipping an RF lab, and provides many of the same benefits.

I have a long history of volunteer tutoring high school and GED students, and I would love to continue to help inspire future engineers on a larger scale, so any comments about how to make this better suited for an educational experience would be appreciated. Of course my first step is just trying to get the software out there.

Cheers,

Greg
