| Transcalc is an analysis and synthesis tool for calculating the |
| electrical and physical properties of different kinds of RF and |
| microwave transmission lines. Transcalc was somewhat inspired by the |
| functionality of Agilent Technologies' commercial program linecalc. |
| Transcalc aspires to be more functional in the long run and |
| well-documented with appropriate references to formulas that are used. |
| Transcalc is built using the GIMP toolkit (GTK) for its GUI interface. |
| For each type of transmission line, using dialog boxes, you can enter |
| values for the various parameters, and either calculate its electrical |
| properties (analyze), or use the given electrical requirements to |
| sythesize physical parameters of the required transmission line. |
| Available transmission lines (this list will expand with subsequent |
| releases): microstrip, rectangular waveguide, coaxial line, coupled |
| microstrip. |
