Entering FIDES Microwave Components
The following table describes the part parameters required for microwave components when a FIDES 2009 model is selected for the calculation. The FIDES 2004 model does not support this FIDES category. FIDES 2009 models support three subcategories:
Integrated Circuit
Passive
Semiconductor
