Outline: Knowledge Organizer is a powerful tool for managing notes and projects. It's compatible with MS OneNote and made for those who value structure and order. Create, connect and synchronize notes of study, work or personal goals. TAKING NOTES Start with a simple step: take notes in a convenient editor. — Put a text in any place like in a paper notebook. — Move ideas across pages and sections. — Add text, images, lists, tables and even embedded links. — Visualize notes with tags and to-do lists. INFORMATION STRUCTURING — Sort notes out to sections, topics or projects. — Adjust tags to find what you need within seconds. — A simple hierarchical organization helps take even big data under control. APPLE PENCIL - HANDWRITING AND DRAWING SUPPORT — Handwrite notes with Apple Pencil — Sketch diagrams or annotate printouts — Combine handwriting with text, images, and tables CONVENIENT SEARCH An instant search enables you to find information even in thousands of notes. Use filters in order to find necessary data fast, and forget about what it’s like to get lost in information chaos. ANNOTATE PDFs To collect related documents in one place, add them as file attachments. PDF files can be inserted as printouts for annotation. This way Outline becomes a universal tool for storing and working with your data.

Aether Lite is an RF and Microwave engineering suite for professionals, students, and enthusiasts. Explore the full RF design workflow — from system link budgets to impedance matching — at no cost. Aether Lite limits the number of blocks in a budget to 3 and the number of budgets in a project to 2. A full-featured version (Aether) without these limitations is also available. System Budget Calculator: • Cascade Analysis: Chain amplifiers, mixers, filters, and attenuators to compute system Noise Figure, Gain, IP3, and P1dB. • Link Budget: Calculate received power, SNR, and link margin for wireless systems. • Export cascade diagrams as PDF, SVG or draw.io. Filter Designer (limited edition, max 3rd order): • Filter Synthesis: Butterworth and Chebyshev responses. • Filter Classes: Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass. • Passive LC ladder implementation with frequency and component scaling. • S-parameter simulation with magnitude, phase/delay, and schematic views. IQ Simulator: • Signal Generator: Create CW, two-tone, and Gaussian noise signals, or load IQ data files. • Spectrum, IQ waveforms and constellation visualization. Smith Chart Designer (lite version): • Interactive Smith Chart with schematic editor. • L, C, R, Transmission Lines, and S2P blocks. • Amplifier Design with Gain and Stability Circles. • Frequency sweep and Monte Carlo analysis. Data Explorer: • Import Touchstone (.sNp) files. • Cartesian, Polar, and Smith Chart visualizations. • Marker system and snapshot comparison. Analytical & Transmission Line Tools: • Closed-form models for common transmission line geometries. • Resonator and Attenuator Designers. Export & Share: • PDF reports, PNG/SVG screenshots, draw.io diagrams, Touchstone files. Upgrade to Aether for the full feature set: • No limitations on number of blocks in a budget or budgets in a project • Advanced filter types: Elliptic, Legendre-Papoulis, higher-order synthesis • Trace Designer: Full 2D BEM solver for PCB transmission lines For support or feature requests, please contact us.
