 While company branding and the user interface
have changed over the years since AppCAD first appeared on the Hewlett Packard (HP)
website, it is still as handy a desktop tool as ever. The most recent incarnation
was provided by Avago Technologies, which bought Broadcom in 2015 and then adopted
its name. You can now download a free copy of
AppCAD from the Broadcom website.
Rather than do an extensive write-up about all the calculation screens in AppCAD,
I've posted a sampling of screen shots. Amongst them are a Smith chart s-parameter
plotter, a lumped element balun designer, a microstrip calculator, a mixer spurious
product calculator, and thermal dissipation calculator. Since according to a popular
saying
a picture reportedly paints a thousand words, here are a few thousand words
for you - in picture format.
