Description

scikit-rf (aka skrf) is an Object Oriented approach to RF/Microwave engineering implemented in the Python programming language. See some of the features below and check out the introduction for a quick look at using scikit-rf.

Getting Started

Plot touchstone data on a smith chart, in 3 lines.

import skrf as rf
ntwk = rf.Network('ring slot.s2p')
ntwk.plot_s_smith()
