RFSim99 is freeware software that helps with impedance matching and can simulate RF circuits. Plots Amplitude and phase response, different display styles including Smith chart. Uses one and two-port Scattering parameters. You can for example import an S-parameter file of your filter from your network analyser and have the software calculate matching. Requires Windows 95, 98, NT or 2000 (WinXP virtual machine runs it just fine)
