Qucsator is a former built-in engine of Qucs. It contains some unique simulation features for RF domain that are hard to implement in the Ngspice. However Qucsator has a very poor time domain performance and not recommended for simulation of general purpose circuits. In the long perspective adding new microwave devices is considered.
I decided to create this fork in order to bring some new features to Qucsator and keep this simulation kernel alive. The name Qucsator-RF indicates that it will be targeted to RF simulation. My intention is to use Qucsator-RF as the supplementary simulation kernel for Qucs-S for RF and microwave circuits analysis. Here is the roadmap for the first release:
[x] Deprecate Autotools build system and compeltely switch to CMake; remove related Autotools stuff
[x] Make ADMS dependency optional; in the long perspective it will be needed to switch to OpenVAF OSDI interface
[x] Make build libqucsator.so optional
[x] Prepare Windows binary package
[x] Integrate this repository into the Qucs-S repository using git submodule
