Handy RF Tool

I use Transmission Line Calc frequently to estimate the insertion loss of an RF cable. If I can perform a measurement of the cable’s insertion loss with an RF analyzer, having this app gives me confidence that the measurement was good when the calculated loss and the measured loss are within a dB. The app has a nice selection of coaxial cables to choose.

David, Technical Support Engineer

I use the LineCalc app more often than any other technical app. I have worked in RF communications for over 40 years and I use this app almost daily. Highly recommended for the RF field engineer and amateur radio (ham) operator.

Broken on my iPhone X

Have been trying to use app for first time on iPhone X. Cut constantly crashes after parameters are changed. Very painful...

Great app !

Very handy and useful.

Make better choices in antenna design

Antenna system designs need the insight provided by this tool along with an antenna analyzer. These two tools have made a great improvement in my antenna building & transmission line selections, since choices are not only from recommendations of others. Antenna tuning is satisfying with the easy results provided by this app.
