Design a matched Pi or T attenuator pad, compare exact and preferred resistor values, and check power dissipation before choosing parts.

Calculate RF free-space path loss and predicted RSSI, then check fade reserve, Fresnel clearance, SNR, and range or band tradeoffs.

Estimate IP3, IM3 clearance, and SFDR for RF two-tone tests using gain, noise bandwidth, detection margin, and clean-tone limits.

Look up a MAC address, normalize EUI-48 and EUI-64 forms, and compare vendor evidence with local flag, privacy, and special-use checks.

Estimate PCB microstrip impedance or solve target trace width from stackup geometry, compare IPC and Hammerstad models, and flag tolerance risks.

Calculate RF receiver noise figure from ordered stage gains, passive losses, bandwidth, and SNR targets with Friis terms and sensitivity estimates.

Check satellite TLE age, orbit class, readiness, and optional SatNOGS status before relying on a record for link planning or fleet triage.

Forecast satellite passes from a TLE and observer location, then compare elevation, azimuth, timing, charts, and calendar-ready exports.

Convert VSWR, return loss, reflection coefficient, and reflected power into RF mismatch notes with mismatch loss, watt estimates, and review guidance.

Plan Wi-Fi AP channel assignments for 2.4, 5, or 6 GHz with DFS and PSC-aware pools, reuse pressure, charts, and exportable tables.

Estimate Wi-Fi AP count from floor area, client load, traffic demand, AP class, and reserve, with coverage, client, and throughput drivers.
