rfnetwork

Linear circuit solver for networks of RF components.

Github Repository

Installation

rfnetwork requires Python >= 3.9.

pip install rfnetwork

Features

• Connect RF/microwave components into larger networks.

• Manage complex RF systems with hierarchical building blocks.

• Compute noise figure of multi-port networks using noise-wave analysis.

• Interactive tuning of variable components (i.e. switches, phase shifters, capacitors).

• Probe internal voltage waves inside a network.

• Full wave FDTD solver for analyzing coupled lines and simple PCB geometry.
