input - Yagi-Uda project antenna defining program
input [
- h ]
The program
input is one of a number of executable programs that forms
part of a set of programs, collectively known as the
Yagi-Uda project ,
which were designed for analysis and optimisation of Yagi-Uda antennas.
input is an interactive program, that asks the user for information
about a Yagi design, such as position of elements, spacing between elements,
frequency span of interest and a filename to save the data to.
input
then writes this information into an ASCII file, which can be read by
yagi or
optimise The file is ASCII and it's format is easily
understood by inspection (there are comments printed in it), so it can if
necessary be edited manually.
After running
input and specifying a filename (for example 144e10) you
should then type
yagi 144e10 and then
output 144e10 and
optionally
optimise 144e10

Bugs should be reported to
[email protected].
Bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your
interest to report them in such a way that they can be easily reproduced.
If a mistake is made during inputting of data (such as entering an incorrect
length), it is not possible to go back and correct this. You should make a
note of the error, and edit the ASCII text file with a text editor (vi, DOS
edit etc).
