What’s better than using RF & Microwave Toolbox by android-design.nl? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.
About the App
RF & Microwave Toolbox is your carry-anywhere workbench for high‑frequency design and test. Built for RF pros, microwave engineers, EMC technicians, students, and hands‑on radio amateurs, it turns tough calculations into quick, reliable answers. Made by android-design.nl, this Productivity staple covers everything from link budgets and filters to PCB traces and thermal checks. Prefer a bigger view? You can also run it on your PC with BlueStacks.
App Features
- All‑in‑one RF toolkit: A deep collection of calculators and designers, including analog helpers, PCB trace tools, and resistor color/SMD code lookups, so you don’t have to jump between apps.
- Link budgets and path loss: Work out 1‑way and 2‑way path loss, radar equation results, Fresnel zones, and radio horizon in seconds.
- Noise and linearity: Evaluate cascaded gain/NF and intermod (IP2/IP3, OIP2/OIP3), convert noise figure units, and use Y‑factor methods without leaving your phone.
- Power and field converters: Flip between W, dBm, V, and dBµV; compute field intensity and power density (W/m², V/m, A/m, Tesla, Gauss) with confidence.
- VSWR and matching: Check return loss, run a reflectometer, get VSWR from power, and design L, Pi, and T matching networks—balanced or unbalanced—with handy series/parallel LCR conversions.
- Transmission lines: Size and analyze microstrip, stripline, coplanar, and coupled lines; handle mitered bends; model coax, twisted pair, and waveguides (including circular).
- Couplers and splitters: Design Wilkinson, rat‑race, and branchline dividers, plus microstrip and stripline directional couplers with directivity insights.
- Filters and microwave synthesis: Build Butterworth and Chebyshev low/high/band‑pass/stop filters; apply Kuroda’s identities, stepped‑impedance, and coupled‑line µ‑filter techniques; include CR/LR/LCR networks.
- Antennas and propagation: Size helical and microstrip patch antennas, explore near/far field limits, downtilt coverage, wires over ground, and compute antenna temperature and RCS.
- Amplifiers and PAs: Calculate power combining (dBm add), efficiency, and attenuators (reflection, balanced, bridged‑T). Explore Doherty PA options, including conventional and three‑way variants.
- PCB and thermal: Get controlled‑impedance trace dimensions, width/clearance rules, skin depth and AC/DC resistance, heat sink temperature, thermal vias, and cavity resonance.
- Lab and reference: TRL cal kit support, wavelength and mixer harmonic checks, image rejection from amplitude/phase imbalance, plus everyday staples like Ohm’s Law, LED resistors, voltage dividers, op‑amp helpers, and more.
