input \- Yagi-Uda project antenna defining program
18
is one of a number of executable programs that forms part of a set of
19
programs, collectively known as the
21
, which were designed for analysis and optimisation of Yagi-Uda antennas.
23
is an interactive program, that asks the user for information about a Yagi design, such as position
24
of elements, spacing between elements, frequency span of interest and a filename to save the data
27
then writes this information into an ASCII file, which can be read by
31
The file is ASCII and it's format is easily understood by inspection (there are comments printed
32
in it), so it can if necessary be edited manually.
36
and specifying a filename (for example 144e10) you should then type
50
filename ASCII data file in which design is put.
53
Both DOS and Unix versions have been built. The DOS version as
54
distributed requires a 386 PC with a 387 maths coprocessor.

first(1), yagi(), output(1), optimise(1), input (5), first(5), yagi(5), output(5) and optimise(5).
64
Bugs should be reported to
65
.BR david.kirkby@onetel.net.
67
Bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your
68
interest to report them in such a way that they can be easily reproduced.
70
If a mistake is made during inputting of data (such as entering an incorrect length), it is not
71
possible to go back and correct this. You should make a note of the error, and edit the ASCII
72
text file with a text editor (vi, DOS edit etc).
