Has anyone gotten this to work? I was trying to use this as a free alternative to ADS but this didn't seem to quite work.

- ul5255 5y agonot tried myself but here is some documentation: http://www.gunthard-kraus.de/qucsstudio/index_english_qucsstudio.html http://www.gunthard-kraus.de/qucsstudio/index_english_qucsst...
- jimmyswimmy 5y agoWell, I used it for a class, and it was fine for class purposes. I did notice significant differences in modeled circuit performance between versions of Qucs Studio, for even very simple models. Instead of trying to get to the bottom of that problem, I just used the same version as the instructor and called it "good enough." But "good enough" for a class is definitely not "good enough" for the workplace. Either I was doing something stupid (quite likely) or you should stick with ADS.
- buescher 5y agoI haven't tried QucsStudio but Qucs has worked when I tried it. It's too bad development on Qucs seems to have stalled. My favorite fast, simple, and free linear simulator is still Puff: https://www.pa3fwm.nl/software/puff/ https://www.pa3fwm.nl/software/puff/
- hatsunearu 5y agoThanks!
- themulticaster 5y agoActually the development of Qucs is ongoing, it's just that they are a little late on making the jump from Qt 4 to Qt 5, so Qucs isn't in available in some distributions that removed Qt 4 at the moment (e.g. Arch).
- Sanzig 5y agoIt works quite well for linear network simulations (eg: plugging together black box S-parameters from manufacturer data or extracted from a VNA) and it works reasonably well for filter synthesis. I've never used the harmonic balance simulator or the new planar EM sim though.
