+Transcalc is an analysis and synthesis tool for calculating the electrical and
+physical properties of different kinds of RF and microwave transmission lines.
+
+Transcalc was somewhat inspired by the functionality of Agilent Technologies'
+commercial program linecalc. Transcalc aspires to be more functional in the
+long run and well-documented with appropriate references to formulas that are
+used. Transcalc is built using the GIMP toolkit (GTK) for its GUI interface.
+
+For each type of transmission line, using dialog boxes, you can enter values
+for the various parameters, and either calculate its electrical properties
+(analyze), or use the given electrical requirements to sythesize physical
+parameters of the required transmission line.
+
+Available transmission lines (this list will expand with subsequent releases):
+ - Microstrip
+ - Rectangular Waveguide
+ - Coaxial Line
+ - Coupled Microstrip
