[TowerTalk] Free Excellent RF design program

[Jay Terleski]

Here is a good deal for you guys making RF matching systems.

There is a free download site for a program I have used for some time. 
I recommend it highly.  It was developed by Grant Bingeman, who many of
you recognize as being a frequent author in Communications Quarterly. 
He also is a PE that actually builds and tunes up monster arrays for
Continental Electronics, 1kW to 1 Meg Watt 1MHz to TV bands.

Enjoy.

A discription follows:


RE:     RF Design program

The KM5KG RF Design program puts all of your common design tools in one
place. Windows 98 Point and Click design features include:

1)  impedance matching with L, tee, pi, transmission line and other
networks,

2) transmission line lossy model, stubs, balanced and unbalanced
open-wire
line design, closed-wire, co-axial, micro-strip, etc

3) solenoidal coils of circular, square, triangular, and other cross
sections,

4) parallel-plate and tubular capacitors,

5) diplexers,

6) several different combiners and splitters,

7) mutual impedance calculation from measured open- and short-circuit
data,

8) RF transformers,

9) audio and RF attenuators,

10) Smith chart display of impedance data, file import.

11) tee-to-pi transformation, series-to-shunt impedance transformation,
etc

Many screens include frequency sweep and sensitivity analysis
capabilities.
 Graphic print-outs and screen capture for all functions.  All previous
parameters stored in INI file for automatic retrieval at start-up. 
Extensive on-line help.  Stress analysis for CW, SSB and AM on all
components.

500 KB Demo file download sites:

 www.qsl.net/km5kg
 website.mciworld.com/~drbingo@mciworld.com

Unzip NETDEMO.ZIP into a folder called NETWORKS.
Run NETWORKS.EXE.

If your version of Windows does not have the correct DLL, you may
download 
700 KB VB6DLL.ZIP from the same sites.  Then unzip this into
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
