Default Wanting to examine mutual coupling

I believe EZNEC may be capable of this (I have the demo)? Any other
recommendations?

Hi Ryan,

It certainly is enough, given your stated goal.

If anyone would be kind enough to walk me through an outline of what
I'd need to do in EZNEC, I'd appreciate the help! (I am pretty new to
finite-element EM modelling)

Open the file 4SQTL.EZ and select "View Ant," Once you appreciate
what you've got, select the button "FF Plot" to observe the
directionality. Select the button "Src Data" to observe the drive
point impedances. Select the button "" next to the label "Sources"
to see their placement and phase.

If your designing becomes more elaborate and goes beyond the demo 20
segment limitation (not a problem with the file suggested here), you
may want to buy the package.
