These were supplied by Ted! What would a microwave web site be without some handy Smith chart downloads? Here are some great Smith charts that are low in megabytes but high in resolution, perfect for documents! Here's a black and white Smith Chart in Adobe Acrobat pdf. Here's a color Smith Chart. Need the Acrobat reader? Click here!

Here's a Microsoft Word document that contains schematic symbols such as resistors, capacitors, circulators, attenuators and switches, power dividers, bias tees, DC blocks and assorted other microwave components. In the latest edition July , we've fixed the Doherty amplifier block diagram. You can use this file to create your own schematics for documents and presentations.

Please send your feedback on this work-in-progress to techwriter microwaves Check out Varian's "History of Radar" ads , those cats were real gone! Here's a poster for your lab in PDF format. Print it and post it and help us Fite Microwave Stupidity! Are you sick and tired of picking up a connector out in your lab and finding that some one else wrecked it?

The Unknown Editor has a solution for you. Post this handy guide to Connector Care in your lab! It's updated for , thanks to Vinny who caught a mistake on the torque spec inch ounces should have read inch pounds!

Here is a poster on the topic of Women in Microwaves, that was prepared by Dr. Raghavan and Prof. At Microwaves we pride ourselves on building microwave information into our encyclopedia, so it is indexed, cross-linked, and totally convenient.

Not like some crummy pdf data sheets and app notes that suppliers put up for you to go crazy waiting two minutes to download so you can spend ten minutes looking for and probably not finding the info you need. We also make it a point not to steal stuff from other web sites and offer it as our own. But in some cases, we realize there are documents out in the public domain that we can collect and offer in one convenient place.

Here are two examples:. Thanks to Rob, we now offer Microwaves Hall-of-Famers Matthaei, Young and Jones "Microwave Filters, Impedance Matching Networks and Coupling Structures" which dates back to but is still the most complete book on microwave filters ever written, at 1, pages. This material was developed under government contract and hence is approved for public release by DTIC which is where we found it.

Here is a list of microwave laminates, prepared by SPC. You'll find it invaluable. Thanks to Alicia! By the way, if you ask SPC nicely, they might even send you a laminated 11 x 17 inch poster free of charge. Look on their web site for details. Download the Microwave Laminates chart! Here's a booklet titled "How to Treat Women in the Workplace". It was written for Hughes Aircraft employees in the s, and it would not represent an acceptable company policy today.

If you want to be horrified at "the way we were", check this out! Thanks to Chris, we now offer a copy of an NRL report dating from , on the design and calibration of horn antennas. Slayton, gives dimensions for construction of a series of microwave horns of known gain, and may be used as a calibration reference.

The horns are designed to match up well to standard waveguide sizes. Virtually all standard gain horns on the market follow the dimensions called out in this report. We found the document at the Defense Technical Information Center , specifically here. So we'll assume it is public domain, and offer it through the link below. We have much more on material on William Slayton thanks to his daughter Charlotte!

Here is a much better copy of the NRL report. Finally, here is a speech he gave in about his experience at NRL, three years after his retirement. Download Slayton's speech. The Quadrennial Defense Review report is put together every four years by the Department of Defense, the latest was issued February This report defines where we are on the war on terror, as well as the to-be state. If you want to win a government defense contract you should read this and reference it in your proposal.

DARPA has a strategic plan, you should read it! The Navy's Office of Naval Research has a plan for science and technology, some of which is gonna involve some very high power microwaves The Navy released some great tutorial documents in , including an entire series on electronics.

It provides a modern, object-oriented library for network analysis and calibration which is both flexible and scalable. When baby-boomer microwave engineers retire we can rest easy knowing that smart, motivated, stick-shift-driving engineers like Alex will take up the slack. This input came from Jeff in June We are a group of emag enthusiasts that have spent the last bit 1. I am now happy to say that this is free for download for 7 in.

The app was based on the old 'Puff' app that many of us used back in the 80s and 90s. Unfortunately, Puff wasn't maintained that well but can still be compiled on some Linux machines. Thus, we built Z0lver to add on to the features of Puff, while leveraging the benefits of new mobile technology.

We have tested many of the designs from Microwaves in Z0lver and heavily used Microwaves over the years. We are eager to give back to the community and are therefore hoping that you find the app interesting and worthy of the site. If so, feel free to help point users towards using the app and providing feedback.

We hope to release a version for phones soon and the open source files will be made available at the end of this summer for people to contribute to. Here's two snapshots of a free shirt that Z0lver provided to Microwaves Thanks, guys! I've tried it and it appears to work for linear, transient, harmonic balance, and also supports Verilog device modelling. QucsStudio is not Qucs. While the two share some developers and they are very similar user interfaces - similar to Agilent ADS, QucsStudio has harmonic balance whereas Qucs does not and QucsStudio has a greater integration with Verilog compilation and support than Qucs.

Moreover, QucsStudio appears to be upgraded at more regular intervals than Qucs. Microwave Office circuit design software is used by leading manufacturers to accelerate product development of high-frequency bltadwin. Down East Microwave - Supplier of microwave hardware for experimenters. PUFF is the name of a computer aided design program for microwave circuits, developed at the California Institute of Technology.

The platform delivers a complete, integrated workflow. Unlike other PCB solutions, OrCAD has the ability to grow with evolving design challenges providing the security of scalability for future challenges. HSPICE is the industry's "gold standard" for accurate circuit simulation and offers foundry-certified MOS device models with state-of-the-art simulation and analysis algorithms.

With its integrated fast 3D field solver and highly parallel architecture, Calibre xACT provides attofarad accuracy with the performance needed for multi-million instance designs. The multi-page hierarchical schematic editor makes it easy to sketch a circuit.

Once a circuit is created, you can do a transient, AC, DC, transfer function, sensitivity, or distortion with a simple command. The editor features stepping, scaling, panning, multiple-object selection, rotation about three axes, mirroring, clipboard functions, and multistage undo and redo.

It is used for machine learning, signal processing, image processing, computer vision, communications, computational finance, control design, robotics, and much more. Read more about it HERE. Now that you've got the CAD tools, consider learning these 5 simple steps to insanely effective design reviews to significantly reduce errors in your designs.
