Default NEC output in circular components...

Oh, OK... as you likely know I am one of your customers, an EZNEC user,
but my version is older. :-(

There are no circular polarization outputs available in my version.

I'll purchase a new version so that I can have that capability.

Did you add the calculations to produce the circular outputs from NEC
rectilinear outputs yourself or is it/was it included in the basic NEC
codes?

Keep an eye out for my order. [smile]

Thanks!


They're calculated from the linearly polarized NEC fields Ephi and
Etheta. As you said, NEC doesn't directly report LHP and RHP components
but the calculation is trivial from the reported linearly polarized fields.

You have v. 3.0. If you don't have either of the upgrade notice I sent,
drop me an email and I'll send you the Customer ID you need to get your
upgrade discount price. You'll need EZNEC+ if you want the circular
polarization features.
