Changes since 0.13:
* Fixed multiline string problems in help.h which prevented
compilation in gcc >3.2
* Moved build environment automake, autoheader, autoconf to a more
modern version (autoconf support is for >2.50).
* Ported transcalc to gtk2.0, which means that the dependency on
gdk-imlib is now gone. gtk2.0 included gdk-imlib natively.
* Corrected some minor bugs related to config file
* Changed speed of light symbol from C to C0
* Modified configure.in to work also with Mingw32 (and hopefully cygwin)
* Added fnmatch.c and fnmatch.h (needed for Win32)
* Added program version number to saved files
* Updated speed of light constant (!) and changed its name from C to C0
to avoid clash with variables in other f iles. Updated vacuum dielectric constant
* Moved examples from src directory to a separate examples dir
* Clean-up most warnings during compilation
* Upon running for first time, $HOME/.transcalc dir will be
created with config file and save file
* Units default values now saved in config file
* Upon exit, last transmission line values remembered in save file
* Made some slight changes in gui setup
* Added coupled microstrip image
* Update manpage
Transcalc is an analysis and synthesis tool for calculating the
electrical and physical properties of different kinds of RF and
microwave transmission lines.
Transcalc was somewhat inspired by the functionality of Agilent
Technologies' commercial program linecalc. Transcalc aspires to be
more functional in the long run and well-documented with appropriate
references to formulas that are used. Transcalc is built using the
GIMP toolkit (GTK) for its GUI interface.
For each type of transmission line, using dialog boxes, you can enter
values for the various parameters, and either calculate its electrical
properties (analyze), or use the given electrical requirements to
sythesize physical parameters of the required transmission line.
Available transmission lines (this list will expand with subsequent
releases):
* microstrip
* rectangular waveguide
* coax
* coupled microstrip
