.TH "transcalc" "1"
.SH "NAME"
transcalc \(em analysis and synthesis tool for microwave and RF transmsision lines
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBtranscalc\fP [\fB-h/--help\fP] [\fB-v/--version\fP]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBtranscalc\fP is an analysis and synthesis tool
for calculating the electrical and physical properties of different
kinds of RF and microwave transmission lines.
.PP
\fBTranscalc\fP allows you to interactively edit
substrate, component, physical and electrical parameters of a given
transmission line. For each type of transmission line, using entry
boxes, you can enter values for the various parameters, and either
calculate its electrical properties (press Analyze button or function
key F3), or use the given electrical requirements to synthesize (press
Synthesize button or function key F4) physical parameters of the
required transmission line.
.PP
When run for the first time \fBTranscalc\fP creates a .transcalc directory under the user's home directory,
where some configuration information is
stored. \fBTranscalc\fP remembers the last
transmission line parameters used when the user exits and
presents those parameters when restarted.
.PP
Calculated results are updated and presented within the user
interface. Moving the mouse over the parameter labels pops up a
more helpful tooltip about that parameter. For example, if you
wonder what "Er" stands for, move the mouse over it and a
helpful tooltip tells you that it stands for relative
permittivity.
.PP
\fBTranscalc\fP knows and converts between many
unit types for length, frequency, resistance and angles. Default
units can be saved by using the File->Options menu. Calculated
results include conductor and dielectric losses in decibels
(dB).
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fBTranscalc\fP has few command line
options at this point.
.IP "\fB-v, --version\fP " 10
Causes transcalc to print its version number (a string
on the form MAJOR.MINOR, like 0.10) to the
standard output, and then exit.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
\fBtranscalc\fP was
written by Gopal Narayanan (gopal@astro.umass.edu) and Claudio Girardi
(claudio.girardi@ieee.org). \fBtranscalc\fP is available at \fIhttp://transcalc.sourceforge.net/
(link to URL http://transcalc.sourceforge.net/) \fR.
