Simulation

• RF Impedance Matching Calculator - Design Center - Analog Devices
• Falstad Circuit Simulator
  • Incorrect parameter fileId 
• QUCS-S Simulator
  • Incorrect parameter fileId
    • To change the Default Simulator in Qucs-s go to Simulation Menu then Select default simulation and select Qucsator from the Default simulator dropdown menu. Qucsator simulator engine can be found inside the QUCS folder (bin/qucsator.exe) available at Qucs project: download (sourceforge.net). Once downloaded, the Qucsator executable location has to be set under Simulation Menu then Select default simulation.
