support for microstrip RF design

Former Member

For the wishlist...

 

It would be really cool to have eagle support for high-frequency RF design and if possible, the ability to read directly from qucs file formats.  Qucs is open-source, has a text-based file format, and supports simulation of several types of microstrip.  The current types of supported microstrip distributed components and associated equations are described in this link.

http://qucs.sourceforge.net/tech/node74.html

 

Would also be nice to also be able to click on a 2-port node in the eagle pcb layout, associate a touchstone s-parameter file for each end of the node, and be able to do a frequency / s-parameter plot in dB.  If the associations remained persistent for a design,  then maybe you could even analyze a complete set of nodes  (the entire tx path or rx path for example).

 

Maybe some tools to synthesize optimal matches in microstrip?

 

Just some thoughts..

    Hi Joop,

     

    I've played with Qucs before and it's a very interesting simulator. As

    you know we have an interface for LTSpice which is Free (as in beer not

    as in speech), which covers that need very well.

     

    Qucs is a bit niche, and I don't know how many users would benefit from

    such an interface but I'll post it to the Devs anyway and they'll make a

    determination.

     

    Thanks for the suggestion.

     

    Best Regards,
