RF View user guides
How to use the RF View app on Windows and on Android. For RF theory, tutorials and calculators, see the other sections of this site.
The guides walk through the app panel by panel: opening Touchstone files (.s1p to .s4p), choosing dB, VSWR, phase, group delay or Smith chart views, placing markers, comparing several files, and saving the whole view as a configuration file you can reopen later. The Windows guide also covers the desktop-only tools: circuit simulation, de-embedding, batch pass/fail checks against spec limits, reports and VNA control.
The guides explain the buttons, not the RF behind them. When a step needs background, the guide links to the matching tutorial, for example how to open an S2P file or how to read a Smith chart.
