This talk will cover basics of distributed element microwave PCB design and the associated challenges in KiCad. Show usage of PyOpenEMS (github.com/dlharmon/pyopenems) to generate both a PcbNew module and an OpenEMS 3D electromagnetic simulation model based on a single Python based description of the desired geometry.
