Abstract :
Three low cost microwave effective CAD software programs are described in this paper. They are Hewlett Packard´s AppCAD, CalTech´s PUFF, and Motorola´s MIMP. AppCAD is useful for the calculation of individual components, losses and gains. PUFF is valuable in calculating two port parameters input and output matches, gains and losses, frequency responses and plotting facilities for layout artwork. MIMP provides real time facilities for narrow and broadband matching using Smith charts and rectangular plots
