RF Toolbox performs, for example, these kinds of calculations: Transmission line calculations, coil design, LC filter design, transmission line loss, L matching networks, Impedance calculations, wire inductance calculations, resistor color code and more.

RF Toolbox 3.3.0 is a Universal Application and is available for Mac OS X, Mac OS 8/9 and Windows. A Linux version is still in development. It is priced at US$19.99.
