4NEC2: |
NEC Executables, Source Code and Documentation.
Nec-2 based freeware antenna modeler and optimizer with
interface to HFwin32 propagation prediction software
(Updated 22.Sep.2003). |
Antenna Maker: |
The programs in this package are intended to assist the average
Amateur Radio Operator with the design and construction of some of the
most common antennas in use today. Several antennas have been built using
these programs (Quads, Yagis, Inverted Vees, J-poles, Trap Dipoles and more)
and excellent results have been reported. Just read all the
documentation thoroughly and follow the instructions and you'll have the
personal satisfaction of building your own antennas. DOS.

Antenna Solver V1.1a: |
Antenna Solver
calculates the current density and charges for general wire structures including
surfaces. It provides extensive graphical display capability of calculated results
including 2D and 3D plots with numerous editing features. The code is written
entirely in C++ for Windows 95 and greater and NT4.0 (service pack 3.0) and greater.
The OS must be OpenGL compliant (upgrades and service patches to Windows are provided
by Microsoft).
Antenna Solver© Features:
Extensive graphical editor for manipulating groups of wires and patches,
3D Vector field display of near field patters,
3D display Far Field radiation patterns,
Scattering analysis from plane wave illumination.
All NEC2 features (complex loads, excitations, currents, etc.)
It's free .

Antenna Rotator System : |
The ARS will let you to control any Antenna Rotator
(Azimuth or Azimuth & Elevation), and 3 resolutions are supported:
8 bits, 10 bits or 12 bits ADC. As it works connected to any parallel
port at your computer, any desktop or laptop, can be used. Ms-DOS and
Windows/95 compatible.
(Updated Windows 2.Nov.2002 2.56M. DOS 29.Apr.2002 95K). |
Antennavis 0.2 |
Antennavis is a visualization toolkit designed to aid
the user in better understanding the data output by the NEC2 antenna
modelling software. The application lets the user fly around and view
the antenna systems and their patterns from any angle in 3D, modify
element length, diameter, and location etc. The Numerical
Electromagnetic Code is publicly available software. Antennavis is released
under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License (GPL; see
COPYING for more details.)
The software presently executes on Silicon Graphics O2s, running the IRIX 6
operating system and the X Window System.

Expert MININEC |
The Expert MININEC Series is a set of engineering tools for the
design and analysis of wire antennas. Expert MININEC Broadcast Professional is
a tool for the advanced student and the professional broadcast engineer.The Expert
MININEC Series user interface
runs under the Microsoft Windows environment (i.e., Windows 3.0 and higher
including Windows 98 and Windows NT). Input data screens provide queued dialog
boxes with spreadsheet like data displays. Output products include tabular and
graphics displays. Input and output data screens are fully interfaced to Windows
printer drivers as well as other window applications, such as word processors
and spreadsheets.

EZNEC 3.0 |
EZNEC is a powerful but very easy-to-use program for modeling and
analyzing nearly any kind of antenna in its actual operating environment. EZNEC
plots azimuth and elevation patterns; tells you gain, feedpoint impedance, SWR,
and current distribution; finds and reports beamwidth, 3-dB pattern points, f/b
ratio, takeoff angle, sidelobe characteristics; and more. All information, including
patterns, can be displayed on screen or printed on an ordinary dot-matrix, ink jet,
or laser printer. And it's easy to use with EZNEC's exclusive menu structure,
spreadsheet-like entry, and many shortcut features. You describe the antenna (and
other nearby structures if desired) as a group of straight conductors, choosing the
orientation, length, and diameter. Add sources at the feedpoints and, if desired,
transmission lines, a realistic ground, and loads to simulate loading coils, traps,
or similar components. Using this description method, you can quickly analyze Yagis,
quads, phased arrays, towers, loops -- nearly any type of antenna or parasitic structure.
32-bit Windows, DEMO |
MultiNEC 2.0 |
MultiNEC can automate the repetitive steps of antenna modeling.
You can start by building the model from scratch or by importing an existing
model in any of several formats. Then you can run multiple test cases while
letting the program make small changes to the model between runs. MultiNEC can
be used by itself if you like, but it really shines when used in conjunction
with your existing antenna modeling program. MultiNEC works with EZNEC Standard,
EZNEC-M Pro, EZNEC/4 Pro, NEC-Win Plus+, NEC-Win Pro, GNEC, Antenna Model
(Teri Software), and 4nec2.

VE3SQB ANTENNAS |
Lots of programs that cover the most common types of antennas and a few
experimental designs. Click on the icons to download. The programs do not write
to the Windows registry so just delete the files when you no longer wish to keep
them. Most programs have inch and metric calculations.
