Just the RF and microwave software:
- simsmith
- cocoanec - design and modeling of antennas
- amici - audio spectrum analyzer/tracking generator, analysis of baseband signals
- aaplot - rig expert antenna analyzer
- wcalc - transmissionline structures
- cocoamodem - modems for some amateur radio modulation modes
- vsim - 3d electromagnetics simulator
- mininec - version of nec software for antenna analysis
- appcad rf and microwave tools - calculators for xmission lines, transistor bias, cascade noise analysis, transistor desgin, etc. Runs well via Wine or CrossOver on mac
- rf toolbox - tools for electronic design, not just rf
- fastercap - small/med scale digital/analog ICs
- filter designer - design for butterworth, chebyshev, bessel lumped element filters
- smith chart - many many different types of plots
- matchmaker - rf impedance matching software for capacitors, inductors, transmission lines, etc
- trance analyzer and impedance calculator - impedance of microstrips, coplanar traces, etc.
- hspice waveform viewer - for engineers running HSPCIE simulations. transient or ac simulation results
- s-parameter explorer - network representation in microwave engineering
- rf engineering calculators - web based
- atlc - arbitrary transmission line calculator for transmission line properties
- amanogawa - applets on transmission lines, electromagnetic waves, antennas
- XFdtd release - EM simulation software using FDTD based models
- comsol - free and pay versions
- emgine - 3d electromagnetic field simulation, solves transient maxwell's equations
- oscium's wipry combo - rf power meter and spectrum analyzer (power meter = 100 MHz to 2.7 GHz, spectrum analyzer only 2-3 GHz)
- mxrspur - helps solve problems with spurious mixers/spurious responses
