Read full description

This App is made for Radio Frequency (RF) engineers and students by RF engineers and students. Here you will find various simple RF circuit calculators, which would help you to - convert wavelength to frequency; - convert power levels –> W, dBm, dBW; - synthesize capacitive and inductive transformers; - visualize amplitude and angle modulated signals in time domain; - visualize noise in oscillators (Leeson's noise model); - find optimal generator and load admittance of a 2-port; - make a fast estimation of quantities, such as skin depth, available noise power, bandwidth of CW modulated signals and many more. The App also contains short summaries on RF and microwave circuits as well as a free book on RF circuit design with the following chapters: - Passive RF circuits. - Linear active two-ports. - Noise and distortion. - Power and nonlinear RF-Amplifiers. - Oscillators. - Mixers and detectors. - Modulation, transmission, and demodulation. The quizzes are included to test your knowledge of the topic. The development of the App has been supported by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), so NO adds nor any other type of monetization is included.

Welcome to Circuitry - the world's first and only 3D circuit builder! INSANELY FAST Circuitry uses an optimized, GPU-accelerated network analysis algorithm that will blow your mind. It can calculate the voltages and currents of even the largest circuits in the blink of an eye - an insanely fast blinking eye! SUPER DUPER EASY TO USE While most circuit simulators are stuck in the stone age when it comes to usability, Circuitry takes you on a time-travel journey to the future. Its' 3D interface and intuitive controls will instantly feel familiar - no lengthy tutorials required. DOCUMENT-BASED Every circuit you build in Circuitry is a file. That way, they integrate perfectly into your existing files and can be used exactly the same way: you can duplicate and modify them, share them, and they are available to you on all your devices. HOW TO USE: 1. Place components by dragging from the toolkit to the canvas. 2. Connect components by tapping the sides of the components in cabling mode. 3. Delete or modify components by long pressing on them. AVAILABLE COMPONENTS: - Resistor - Voltage source - Light bulb
