SPICE

RF.Spice is the most useful RF circuit simulation tool in the market. RF.Spice is indeed the RF
Edition of B2.Spice A/D. In other words, it is an enhanced superset of the B2.Spice
A/D(Analog/Digital) applications with an extensive library of RF devices that include Sparameter-based multiport networks and a variety of generic and physical transmission line
types.

You can use RF.Spice to simulate or design distributed analog and mixed-mode circuits at high
frequencies and calculate voltages and currents both in time and frequency domains. You can
also compute the scattering parameters of your network and plot them in Cartesian graphs or
Smith charts. Because RF.Spice is built on the B2.Spice A/D foundation, you can effectively
perform mixed-mode simulations on circuits that involve both RF and digital components.
