System design software - RF Cafe Forums
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views. It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if you would like to post something on RF Cafe's Facebook page, please do.

Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts.

Can anyone recommed a good (and inexpensive) program for doing RF system design work? I looked at an eval version of SysCalc, but it looks a little pricey for what you get. Anything else out there? Anyone have a used copy of SysCalc to sell for a couple hundred bucks?

Dear troy,

Have you tried the RFcafe-Calculator-Workbook?

If you need free system simulators you can try QUCs. You can also use appcad. Thanks.

Best Regards,

You would be amazed what you can do with Excel and VBA :-)

except for complex math (a+jb)*(x+jy)
For serious work with field calculations you need Mathcad or Fortran
