Description

QucsatorRF is a command line driven circuit simulator targeted for RF and microwave circuits.
It takes a network list in a certain format as input and outputs a Qucs XML dataset. This repository also contians a QucsconvRF tool for data file formats conversion.

The Qucs-S project https://github.com/ra3xdh/qucs_s is a recommended GUI for both tools.
