# qucsator(1)

An integrated electronic circuit simulator.

## NAME

Qucsator - An integrated electronic circuit simulator.

## SYNOPSIS

**qucsator** \[*OPTION*\] ...

## DESCRIPTION

**Qucs** is an integrated circuit simulator which means you are able to setup a circuit with a graphical user interface (GUI) and simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. After that simulation has finished you can view the simulation results on a presentation page or window.

The software aims to support all kinds of circuit simulation types, e.g. DC, AC, S-parameter, harmonic balance analysis, noise analysis, etc.

**Qucsator**, the simulation backend, is a command line circuit simulator.  It takes a network list in a certain format as input and outputs a Qucs dataset.  It has been programmed for usage in the Qucs project but may also be used by other applications.
