StripLine Circuits

Stripline filters

 FSY Microwave, Inc. (Cavity/Combline/Interdigital) These TEM mode filters consist of inductively coupled short circuited stub resonators. For very wide passband applications, interdigital structures are used.

 EMAP A Computer Program for Electromagnetic Analysis of Printed Structures in a Planarly Layered Medium version 1.1
"Printed structures in a planarly layered medium have advantages in many applications. They have low cross-section and weight which is important in air-borne applications such as a flush mounted microstrip antenna on a missile. In addition, they are rugged, easily produced and reproducible with low effort by photographic techniques. The advances in Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) increases the importance of microstrip and stripline structures ...

 Open Design Circuits
Open Design Circuits are the chip design counterparts of Open Source Software, with designs (sources) openly shared among developers and users. The open-design circuit approach outlined here captures the true advantages of open-source software, and applies them to hardware. It avoids the large initial investments usually needed for hardware development, and it allows for the rapid design sharing, testing, and user feedback which are key to open-source software success.
 Homepage of gEDA GNU EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools
gEDA is a collection of tools which are used for electrical circuit design, simulation and prototyping/production. The gEDA project was started because of the lack of free EDA tools for
UNIX. The tools are being developed mainly on GNU/Linux machines, but considerable effort is
 being made to make sure that gEDA runs on other UNIX variants.
 Gwave - a waveform viewer
Gwave is a tool I recently started writing, using the Gtk+ toolkit. Its purpose is for viewing analog data, such as the output of Spice simulations.
 XCircuit drawing program home page
XCircuit is my UNIX/X11 program for drawing publishable-quality electrical circuit schematic diagrams and related figures. Graphically object-based, it can be used as a generic program for drawing just about anything, and is competitive with powerful programs such as "xfig". It is especially good for any task requiring repeated use of a standard set of graphical objects, including architectural drawing, printed circuit board layouts, and (my personal favorite) music typography (see my Music Page for examples).

 ETH Zürich / Computer Science / CAD Tools
The Institute for Computer Systems has a long tradition in creating both hardware and software systems. Typically, these two aspects of system design are treated separately. Modern Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), however, have reduced the gap between hardware and software. Our group's research focuses on tools which make the construction of hardware in the form of FPGA designs a fast and simple process. The systems we have built are used in education and research.
The CAD Tools were written by Prof. N. Wirth (1)  , Stephan Gehring, Stefan Ludwig and Marco Sanvido.
