qucsstudio is not the same as qucs. No more open, but still free.
From the same author who started it, and it still gets updates now & then.
from the download readme:
The source code of ICARUS, GHDL, KiCAD, MinGW and Octave can be downloaded from the official homepages. QucsStudio uses the unchanged binaries.
[ That would imply that it has a link to kicad ]
ADMS (VerilogA converter from the ADMS project)
QucsConv (file format converter)
QucsFilter (filter synthesis tool)
technical documentation (circuit simulation, models etc.)
The web site can be switched to English.
I have installed a version 2.x.y.z but methinks before
updating anything I need to clean up my virtual machines
and the Linux they run on. Smells like work.
7 to 11 GHz seems a bit wide for hair pins. A highpass-
lowpass combination would be more flexible.
