Here's just some of what you can do with ARRL Radio Designer*: model passive and small-signal linear circuits from audio to RF; predict and analyze performance of linear, small-signal active and passive dc, audio and RF circuitry (including amplifiers, filters, matching networks and power splitters and combiners); optimize circuit performance to meet goals you specify; display the signal level at any point in a simulated circuit; simulate component value variations due to temperature and tolerances with Monte Carlo statistical analysis; simulate circuit response to a steady-state time-domain signal using impulse, step, pulsed carrier or user-defined stimuli, and much more. ARRL Radio Designer* reports S, Y, Z, group delay and voltage probe parameters for n-port networks; chain (ABCD), hybrid (H), inverse hybrid (G), gain, voltage gain, and stability parameters for two-port networks, and more. Reports can be rectangular or polar graphs, or tables, displayed onscreen or printed on any Windows compatible printer in the colors, fonts and line weights you specify. Circuit entry is via a text-based circuit editor. ARRL Radio Designer* comes on two 3.5-inch floppy disks (example circuits and reports included), and includes an instruction manual containing how-to-use-it, tutorial and reference information. Requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher, 8 megabytes of RAM, and a hard disk with at least 5 megabytes of free space; a math coprocessor is strongly recommended. For more information, contact ARRL.
