Design Assistants

Bundled with the InspectDR packages are a few applets allowing circuit designers to explore high-level facets of idealized designs interactively.

The design assistants get their interactivity from the Interact library and use the Blink library to generate the GUI.

NOTE: It would also be possible embed the design assistants within Jupyter/IJulia notebook - but this solution currently (20181027) appears to be significantly slower, and prone to crashes.

The installation instructions can be found in the root directory where the Blink applets are located:

Use Interact.jl + InspectDR to get a feel for how gain & pole/zero locations affect PLL characteristics.

Transmission Line with RLC Load

https://github.com/ma-laforge/InspectDR.jl/blob/master/notebook/4_loadedtline.ipynb

Use Interact.jl + InspectDR to look at the reflection coefficient of a transmission line terminated with a simple RLC load.

DSP Filter Design

https://github.com/ma-laforge/InspectDR.jl/blob/master/notebook/5_dspfilters.ipynb

Use Interact.jl + InspectDR to observe the frequency response of various filters from the "DSP.jl" module as you alter their input parameters.
