Design tools that run in your browser

Free, no account and nothing to install. The numbers are computed on your own device, and each tool opens in a new tab.

RFFree

Filter Designer

Pick a topology, a response and an order, and get the LC ladder element values with the response plotted — then export the result to your simulator.

  • Low-pass · high-pass · band-pass · band-stop
  • Butterworth · Chebyshev · Bessel
  • Orders 1 to 10
  • Response, group delay and Smith chart views
  • SPICE · Touchstone .s2p · CSV export

AntennaFree

Antenna Design Calculator

First-cut dimensions and performance figures for eight antenna types, with the radiation pattern drawn in 2D and 3D.

  • Microstrip patch · dipole · monopole · Yagi-Uda
  • Horn · slot · loop · parabolic reflector
  • Interactive 2D and 3D radiation patterns

RFPCBFree

Microstrip Line Designer

Synthesise a trace width for a target impedance, or analyse a width you already have, on common RF laminates — with a cross-section drawn to scale.

  • Synthesis and analysis modes
  • Z₀ · effective permittivity · guided wavelength
  • Dispersion, phase and group velocity
  • Conductor and dielectric loss
  • Rogers, Arlon, Taconic and FR4 substrates

RFFree

Impedance Matching & Smith Chart Lab

Drag a load around an interactive Smith chart and watch reflection, VSWR and delivered power respond, then work through matching networks and stubs.

  • Interactive Smith chart
  • Reflection coefficient · VSWR · return loss
  • L, Pi and T matching networks
  • Single-stub matching calculator
  • Q versus bandwidth

These tools use closed-form design equations. They are meant for learning and for first-cut sizing — verify a design in a full-wave or circuit simulator before it goes to fabrication.
