SimSmith - Real Time Plotting of Smith charts and SWR Plots

[kerrsmith]

I have just found a really great program for doing RF analysis and have not seen it mentioned on the forum so though I would put up a few details.

The program is called SimSmith and it does real time plotting of Smith charts and SWR plots:

I first discovered this program when Youtube suggested videos by Larry Benko to me, he has a huge range of videos about this piece software and goes into great detail on many different RF subjects and how to utilise SimSmith to analyse them.

I thought others may be interested in this software as it so useful to see real time plots of your RF designs.

I have been learning the basics of how to use it for the last few days and in the process have been designing a crystal ladder filter and its accompanying matching network. It is so handy to be able to be able to change a capacitance or inductance just by scrolling your mouse wheel over its value and instantly see the changes this makes to your filter's output.

Hmm, I've got a web app of similar aim,

I could add Smith charts to it.  Have received very little interest on it though.

You have a very handy looking site, I really like the tools on your calculator page:

The LC Resonance ones will be very helpful as I am always doing these calculations and having all the different ones on the same page is very useful.

Wow, thats some handy calculators there 
 thank you!
