First time here ... Why another Blog? ... Was it necessary?

This is going to be the "Hello world" entry. I do not know if that is the right thing to do, but ... as far as I know, everybody do something like that. In any case I think It should be a little bit more useful than just that, so, I will take the opportunity to explain why another blog in the world.

The intention of this blog is to try to cooperate with those free software environments to analyze RF circuits that there are available. Some of them, at least, and a little.

What is the meaning of that? There are many people working really hard to offer to designers, beginners, experts and all kind of interested people, software to analyze and design electronic circuits.  They deserve all the credit, and all the support that they can find.

One of these people that are actively working in the same way that I pretend to do in this blog is Gunthard Kraus. Take a while and visit his website and you will see what I want to be when I grow up.


Even more important than sharing, the main idea underneath all of this is learning. There are many people that you can learn from, and, may be, I will be able to find some of them willing to share and even to correct if it is necessary the contents published in this blog.
My humble contribution is to share many years of experience designing RF circuits and other electronics but using as base their software. 

Most of the work that will be shown in this site, have been made using a couple of fantastic tools:

The first one. QUCS Studio. Really cool EDA tool, designed by Michael Margraf and a team that you should know.
The best way to learn about the project is to visit his web site and to download the latest version of QUCS Studio.


The next one will be QUCS ... Yes QUCS ... Does it ring a bell? The story of why QUCS Studio and QUCS is complicated and it can be found if you look for it.
Sure it is better if you forget about sad tales and focus in using both programs and learning all you can from them.
QUCS, and a lot of information regarding the software and the people developing it, can be found here:


Some other software, very interesting and well known indeed, that will be mentioned and used frequently will be:



and


So, let's get start ..
