Need RF system software suggestion - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a good basic RF system simulator that can do gain, nf, ip2/3, p1db, etc. I know there's a spreadsheet here on RF cafe but I'm really preferring a program. Any suggestions for something good that won't break the bank? THanks.

Not to be rude, but have you looked around on this website? There are lots of good programs available. I've never used it but here's one I saw on the homepage.

There are others. RF Cafe sells a spreadsheet system analyzer. Have you looked at it?

Another company makes some like CalcSys or SysCalc. You couldlook them up.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
