Antenna Simulation with xnec2c
Hi everybody,
here are the slides and corresponding papers of a talk I gave at our club station DK0TU in August 2015.
*The slides (in German): antennensimulation.pdf
*Example .nec files:
-Dipole for the 10m band: 10mdipoleBeisp.nec
-Dipole for the 10m band with ground: 10mdipoleBeispGnd.nec
-Dipole for the 10m band with imperfect ground: 10mdipoleBeispimperfGnd.nec
-A 5 element yagi for the 10m band with 116 segments in the simulation: 10myagi.nec
*Background about the boundary element method:
