Read full description

This tool works as an equation solver : you can choose the parameter (variable) to be computed, and fix the other parameters. It also supports multiple systems of units : American (US) and metric (SI). 1) Quarter Wave Antenna : you can compute the length of a quarter wave antenna or solve other parameters (frequency or wave length). 2) Path Loss in Free Space : you can compute the path loss in free space or solve other parameters (frequency, wave length, or distance). 3) VSWR & S11 : you can compute the voltage standing wave ratio or solve other parameters (modulus of reflection coefficient (linear or logarithmic), argument of reflection coefficient, real part of input impedance, imaginary part of input impedance). 4) Power Converter : you can convert the power between [dBm] or [W] units, and compute the tension [dBuV] (into 50 [ohms]). 5) Reflected & Delivered Power : you can compute the ratio of the delivered power to input power or solve other parameters (ratio of reflected power to input power, modulus of reflection coefficient, voltage standing wave ratio). 6) Microstrip Transmission Line : you can compute the characteristic impedance of a microstrip transmission line, or solve other parameters (relative permittivity, track’s thickness, distance from the track to the ground plane, or track’s width). 7) Stripline Transmission Line : you can compute the characteristic impedance of a stripline transmission line, or solve other parameters (relative permittivity, track’s thickness, distance from the track to one reference plane, or track’s width). Some remarks : -The microstrip solver is based on the IPC-D-317A design guidelines. -The stripline solver is based on the IPC-D-317A design guidelines.

Kalkulators = expression calculators. Examples: 1 + 2 + (5 - 2.345) 22.0 / 7 * (a +b) Features: - Expression: use numbers, parenthesis, operators: + - * / - No need for an "=" button. Calculates as you type. - Mathematical functions (with inApp purchase) - Variables: use them in the expression. Useful for example, to change the values without editing the expression - iPhone: "Basic" mode for quick calculations (no variables) - Multiple Kalkulators - Duplicate Kalkulator: easily compare results by using different values in an expression/variables - Preferences: theme (light/dark), precision, thousands separator With Kalkulators you will never need to write down those intermediate results. Buy the Pro version from the in-App store to unlock it's full potential. Buy it once and unlock both the iPad and iPhone Pro features. Note that Kalkulators is an iPad and iPhone app. Here are the differences • iPad: - Albums: let's you organize your formulas (maximum 5) - Formulas: let's you store your formulas (maximum 3/album) - Kalkulators: open many kalkulators at the same time (maximum 2) - Kalkulators variables: reference them in your formulas for quicker, more convenient calculations (2 variables) • iPhone: - Formulas: let's you store your formulas (maximum 2) - Kalkulators variables: reference them in your formulas for quicker, more convenient calculations (1 variable) • iPad and iPhone: - Duplicate Kalkulators - Two themes: light and dark - User defined precision (decimals) With the in-App purchase, this is what you get: • iPad: - Albums: maximum 100 - Formulas: maximum 100/album, no limit on the expression length - Kalkulators: maximum 20 - Kalkulators variables: 10 variables - Scientific keyboard with trigonometric and math functions • iPhone: - Formulas: maximum 100, no limit on the expression length - Kalkulators variables: 3 variables - Scientific keyboard with trigonometric and math functions

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Kalkulators at Free against RF's $0.99. RF's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
