Synopsis

Antenna Modeling Made Easy and Optimized

By using variables, equations, and formulas

Over the last three decades, computerized antenna modeling has advanced greatly. Modeling, a powerful tool in Amateur Radio, can help you to design antennas and optimize their performances.

Today, the EZNEC program is widely used worldwide. A lot was, and still is written about this program in many books, magazines, and on the internet. Example EZNEC models are widely and easily found and available.

However, EZNEC lacks one option: optimizing the model. To allow optimizing, you need the use of variables and formulas. This lack is solved by the author of the AutoEZ application, Dan Maguire, AC6LA.

Whenever you Google "AutoEZ models" or "Optimizing Antenna models," you will be disappointed about the results. Nearly the only source about optimizing an antenna is found at the website of Dan Maguire and my website on5au.be, and my book publications: "Advanced Antenna Modeling" and "Practical Antenna Models - Volume 1".

This new “Practical Antenna Models -Volume 2” handles mainly, for the most part, vertically polarized antennas, such as groundplanes, verticals, 5/8 wavelength multiband, Tower (pylon) models, mutual coupling between antennas, J-pole, matching circuits, etc.

Again, EZNEC and AutoEZ models are intensively used, step by step, fully explained, and many AutoEZ tricks revealed.
