xnec2c is a GTK+ graphical interactive version of nec2c. It incorporates |
|
|
|
the nec2c core which it uses for reading input files and calculating |
|
|
|
output data, but it does not need and indeed does not produce an output |
|
|
|
file by default. Since xnec2c incorporates the nec2c core, it has access |
|
|
|
to all internal buffers, including structure data, frequency-related |
|
|
|
data (structure currents, input impedance, gain etc) and radiation pattern |
|
|
|
data (for the far field and near field). It therefore has the ability to |
|
|
|
graphically display user-requested data directly, as the frequency loop |
|
|
|
progresses or after input from the user. Graphs of frequency-related data |
|
|
|
and the current or charge distribution evolve as the frequency loop |
|
|
|
progresses, and radiation patterns (far and near field) are sequentially |
|
|
|
drawn for each frequency step. A new frequency can be entered by the user |
|
|
|
from spin buttons in the main or radiation pattern windows or by clicking |
|
|
|
on the graphs of frequency-related data. New output data are then computed |
|
|
|
and displayed in text and graphical form. |

nec2c is a C translation of the Fortran nec2 code, which allows analysis |

|
of antennas. |
