Artech House AWAS for Windows: Analysis of Wire Antennas and Scatterers (Antennas & Propagation Library)

Featuring a completely redesigned user interface, AWAS for Windows enables the user to perform extremely efficient, accurate, and affordable antenna analysis. This program analyzes antennas and scatterers by solving the two-potential equation. It evaluates current distribution, near and far fields, input impedance, and more. Due to special numerical integration techniques employed, fast results are obtainable without sacrificing accuracy. A powerful resource for research and design engineers, at home or in the office, AWAS for Windows lets the user interactively define the geometry of any particular wire antenna or scatterer. The program provides the flexibility to edit and automatically check input data, and provides a variety of graphics output capabilities. This new version for Windows includes the following program improvements: greater ease of data entry; entries in input data forms can now be accessed at random in all cases, facilitating data correction; commands for plotting output results are more easily accessible; greater capability for the analysis of complex structures - the program can accept structures with up to 500 nodes, 320 segments, and 16 ports; four times as many unknowns; twice as much angular and co-ordinate steps; and context-sensitive online help. The AWAS for Windows kernel program can also be used effectively on its own, or incorporated into a program, such as an optimization procedure for antenna synthesis. Using this program, various antennas, such as simple monopoles and dipoles, loops, broadcast tower antennas, log-periodic and Yagi-Uda arrays may be analyzed. The program may be used to evaluate electric and magnetic fields produced by electrical circuits and systems in EMC/EMI design.
