Abstract :
The paper describes a software developed by the authors as an educational tool for the design of microwave and near millimeter wave circuits, up to 40 Ghz. The software is part of a whole, by which passive and active circuits can be designed, printed and tested in planar technology (microstrips, finlines and coplanar structures). The facility is available to last year students and to practicing engineers. Since two years, it has been used for various configurations, up to 40 Ghz.
